Difficulty and servings

Easy

Serves 4

Preparation and cooking times

45 mins, plus marinating time

Method

  1. Put the glaze ingredients in a bowl and mix them together. Put the beef in a ceramic dish, season well and pour the glaze over, turning the beef so it is completely covered. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24. Heat the barbecue. Shake some of the glaze off the beef and cook it for about 7 minutes on each side for rare, and a few minutes longer for medium. Take it off the barbecue and leave it to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the discarded glaze in a saucepan until it boils and cook for a couple of minutes. Taste and season. Add a little more bourbon if you like. Glaze the beef again and then carve it into thick slices. Serve with some green leaves dressed with vinaigrette.

    This recipe was absolutely delicious. I left the fillet to marinate for nearly 24 hours. It was tender, flavoursome and melted in the mouth.....mmmm!

    I made this recipe for a family birthday. I marinaded the beef for about 22 hours and cooked it rare - everybody absolutely loved it and the whole lot was eaten. You need to buy the meat from a good butcher. This is definitely a favorite for special occasions. Yum.
