Chef Thomas Horner marinates and bastes grass-fed Aussie beef with a maple-onion glaze. The sugars caramelize to make a flavorful crust while the meat grills. Serve this with oil-roasted potatoes on the side.
Fillet Steak:
In a large bowl or zip-lock bag, blend the thyme, basil, onion, maple syrup and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Remove half to a smaller bowl.
Add the tenderloin to the remaining half of the mixture and marinate it for 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill to MEDIUM heat. Grill the tenderloin, basting it with the reserved onion mixture, for 25 to 30 minutes, turning it 4 or 5 times.
Remove the tenderloin from the grill to rest for 10 minutes before carving it into slices.
