Outstanding

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
