This delicious, hearty steak dinner can be ready to go in under 20 minutes... seriously! The beef tenderloin is flavored by rolling it in a spice mixture of whole black peppercorns, coriander seeds, and salt. Then you simply cook onions and your favorite variety of mushrooms with a touch of white wine until they're nice and softened. Each spiced filet mignon then cooks in just about 10 minutes total on the grill until it's perfectly medium-rare (or to your liking). Serve with a bowl of steamed green beans drizzled with fresh lemon juice and seasoned with salt and pepper alongside to complete the meal.
Ingredients
Peppercorn
2 Tbsp
Coriander seeds
2 Tbsp
Table salt
½ tsp
Uncooked trimmed beef tenderloin
1 pound(s)
Olive oil
2 tsp
Onion
1 small
Mushrooms
1 pound(s)
Fresh thyme
2 Tbsp
White wine
⅛ cup(s)
Instructions
1
Spray the grill rack with nonstick spray. Preheat the grill to medium-high or prepare a medium-high fire.
2
Combine the peppercorns, coriander seeds, and salt in a small zip-close plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy saucepan, crush the mixture. Spread the peppercorn mixture on a sheet of wax paper. Roll the tenderloin in the peppercorn mixture to coat evenly, pressing it into the meat so it adheres. Cut the beef into 4 equal-size filets mignons.
3
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and thyme; cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes longer. Remove the skillet from the heat and keep warm.
4
Meanwhile, place the filets on the grill rack and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a steak registers 145°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve with the mushrooms. Yields 1 filet mignon and about 1/2 cup mushrooms per serving.
