Sesame Ginger Beef Tenderloin
Serves: 6
Preparation Time: 15 minutes - Marinate Time - 1 hour
Ingredients:
-
3/4 cup Knorr Sesame Ginger marinade 175 mL
-
1 tbsp. finely minced fresh ginger 15 mL
-
1 grated zest of an orange, plus juice 1
-
1/2 tsp. dried chili flakes or asian chili sauce (optional) 2 mL
-
2 fresh oranges, quartered 2
-
1 large mango, peeled and cut in 6th’s 1
-
1 1/2 lbs. whole piece of beef tenderloin (approx. 750g) 750g
-
1 red onion, peeled and quartered length-wise 1 (leave root end on so quarters remain intact)
Steps:
- In a shallow dish, whisk marinade, ginger, zest, juice and chili; reserve 1/4 cup (50 mL).
- Add tenderloin, orange quarters, onion, and mango pieces. Marinate 1 hour.
- Grill tenderloin over medium heat, or about 4 inches (10 cm) from heat source. Turning several times and basting with reserved marinade mixture, cook approximately 20-25 minutes.
- Add onion, oranges and mango pieces to the grill. Cook about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Remove beef, fruit and onion to a platter and tent with foil for 5-10 minutes. This will produce a medium rare tenderloin.
- Serving Suggestion: Slice beef and serve with grilled mango and onion, accompanied by basmati rice. Squeeze the juice from the grilled oranges over top. Note: Any tender cut of beef (grilling steaks) can be substituted for the tenderloin in this recipe. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
