Barbecued Tamarind Beef Filet

Methods/steps

combine marinade ingredients in a shallow baking dish; whisk to blend well. add the beef filets and marinate 1-2 hours.

heat oven to 400°F. remove the filets from the marinade and set aside. pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer about 10 minutes until reduced by about half (see note). heat a little crisco pure canola oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. place the filets in the skillet and sear them on all sides. place the skillet in the heated oven and cook to desired doneness. serve with the cooked, reduced marinade. enjoy!

note: only use a marinade that has been used with raw meat as sauce after boiling it for several minutes.
