Fresh rosemary brings pleasant pine notes to grilled beef. If you don't have time to make the jam, use bottled tomato chutney instead. Extra rosemary sprigs make a lovely garnish.
Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 1 steak and 2 tablespoons tomato jam)
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, divided
- 3/4 cup finely chopped tomato
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, trimmed (1 inch thick)
- Cooking spray
Preparation
1. Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
2. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots to pan; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add tomato, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 12 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon pepper; keep warm.
3. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic, remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper, rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
4. Place steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes. Turn steaks over. Sprinkle evenly with rosemary mixture; grill 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with tomato jam.

This was SO good! I ended up using filet mignon (it was on sale), so the beef was amazingly tender. I also used a Foreman grill...that worked not so well. The garlic and herbs stuck to the grill pretty badly...I'd say if you're going to use a Foreman, cook the meat first and maybe sautee the garlic, etc separately before putting it on. Would DEFINITELY make this again...great little romantic dinner!09/08/09

Peeled the tomato before seeding & chopping, otherwise made to recipe. This was really great, an unexpected presentation with the tomatos on top, hiding the rosemary & garlic. Served wtih CL's iceberg wedge with buttermilk dressing & smashed red-skinned potato.08/16/09
