Marinated Grilled Beef Fillet Recipe - Filetto Marinato alla Griglia

By , About.com Guide

Italian grilling tends to be fairly simple: in many cases one simply sets the meat over the coals and seasons it with salt and pepper as it cooks. However, there are exceptions to the rule, and this marinated Grilled Beef Fillet Recipe is tasty. To serve 4 you'll need:

Prep Time: 3 hours

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 fairly thick (3/4 inch, or 2 cm) slices beef filet
  • An onion, cut into rings
  • A small bunch parsley, minced
  • A clove of garlic, sliced
  • A rib of celery, sliced crosswise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Lightly pound the fillets and arrange them in a bowl large enough for them to lie flat. Sprinkle the onion, celery, olive oil, and herbs over them, season them with a grating of pepper, cover them, and put them in the fridge; marinate them for 2-3 hours, turning them several times. Come time to cook them, set them over brisk coals and cook them about 5 minutes, turning them once, and season them with salt when they're done.

Yield: 4 servings marinated grilled beef fillet.
