Garlicky,  Lemony,  Super Yummy Filet Minon-ka-bob  2012

First dinner of the New Year! yum yum

At our grocery store they had a New Year’s Eve special last week, Grass Fed, Free Range Organic Beef Tenderloin roast @ 6.99 / lb (while supplies last). The catch is you have to buy a whole one. The expire date isn’t until the end of January 2012. I guess they just want to save on labor, it costs more for the butchers to cut it up. So I splurged. It was worth it. Filet Minon is my  all time favorite Holiday food. And this is enough steak for several meals and maybe even a dinner party. I cut most of it into steaks, packaged them & put them in the freezer for future feasts. 

The part I didn’t freeze, I cut into cubes and marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, fresh chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, dried basil, cracked black pepper, lots of fresh crushed garlic, & soy sauce. Marinate in the fridge for an hour or so.

Soak bamboo skewers in water. Thread your skewers with zucchini, onion wedges, cherry tomatoes (these are from our front garden, we still have some on Jan 1! due to the crazy warm weather)  mushrooms and the steak.

Light the grill. If your grill is new, brush the kabobs with some oil before grilling so they don’t stick. Cook on med/ high for a few minutes on each side till desired doneness. 

Serve with Basmati rice. Nothing is better than grilled tomatoes & onions with basmati rice. 

yum!
