Gooey Orange Glazed Beef

Fillet of beef has less fat than other steaks. Therefore, I always serve it rare. Grill it a bit longer if you prefer.

Type: Meat
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

  Glaze
1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozDiced (1/4") onion
2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil
1 tablespoon 15mlFinely-minced garlic
2 1/2 cups 592mlFresh orange juice
1/2 cup 118mlUnsulphured molasses
1/4 cup 59mlDark rum
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
  Beef
2   Fillets beef - (2 lbs ea)
2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil

Recipe Instructions

Prepare the glaze ahead of time: Wilt the onion in the oil over low heat in a heavy saucepan until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 3 minutes longer.

Stir in the orange juice, molasses and rum. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until the mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Brush the fillets with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 minutes on one side. Using tongs, turn the meat; brush the glaze on the top and sides. Grill for another 5 minutes for medium-rare meat. Turn and grill the meat on the sides to brown for 1 to 2 minutes, brushing all over with the glaze. Let the meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing 1/2-inch thick.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
