Healthy Diet The Paleo Way: Paleo Main Dish For You: Marinated Beef Fillet with Cherry Tomatoes

I have tried this one! it's deliciously beefy and my family loves it. Why not you try this one today and experience the flavor and share with your family and friends.

MARINATED BEEF FILLET WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Cherry tomatoes taste even better when grilled or roasted as their flavor intensifies. If you don't have a grill, you can do this on a stovetop using grill pan or a griddle.

Serves : 4 to 6

Preparation time : 10 minutes plus of marinating and 1 hour of cooking

Ingredients:

1 kilo Eye beef fillet

500 grams Cherry tomatoes

For the marinade:

1/2 cup red wine

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp roughly chopped thyme

1 tbsp chopped rosemary

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard

2 cloves garlic -- crushed

Place the beef fillet on a non-metal dish
Make the marinade in a bowl by combining all ingredients and season to taste
Pour marinade over beef, turning to coat. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occassionally. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat the flat and grill plate of a covered griller on high. Remove meat from marinade. Barbecue for 5 minutes on grill, turning to brown and seal all sides. Transfer to a large heavy-bottomed roasting pan.
Turn off the heat on the flat plate. Reduce grill heat to medium, close lid and cook beef for 45 minutes for medium rare doneness.
Remove and transfer to board, cover loosely with foil and rest for 15 minutes before slicing. While the meat is resting, place the tomatoes in the same roasting pan and cook in the covered barbecue for 15 to 20 minutes or until they start to collapse.
Serve beef sliced with tomatoes.

Tip : You can serve this dish with other barbecued vegetables or a light salad of mixed greens to cut the heaviness of the beef. Always rest beef after cooking. This gives the meat juices a chance to redistribute, giving a moister and tender result.

Enjoy!
