Grilled Hanging Tenderloin
- 1 hanging beef tenderloin (about 3 pounds untrimmed, about 1 1/2 pounds trimmed)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup sliced shallots
- Dash salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
- When tenderloin is untrimmed, this piece of meat is covered by a thick skin, especially at the tail, where there is a big lump of fat.
- Clean away the excess skin and fat, pulling it from the meat.
- Rub the steak with the oil, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- Place the steak on the rack of the hot grill so it is 2 to 3 inches from the hot ashes.
- Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, to mark it well and brown the exterior.
- Remove to a tray, and place, uncovered, in the 170-degree oven to continue cooking in its own juices and relax, so it is pink throughout.
- Leave the meat in the oven for at least 15 minutes, but it can stay as long as an hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the shallot garnish.
- For the shallot garnish: Melt the butter in a skillet.
- Stir in the shallots, salt, and pepper, and saute for about 2 minutes over medium heat, until the shallots soften.
- Mix the chopped parsley and wine into the shallots.
- To serve: Pour the shallot garnish over the hanging tenderloin, cut the meat into thin slices, and serve with some of the garnish.
