Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

For marinade

1 scallion
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably Kikkoman)
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
four 1 1/4-inch-thick filets mignons (tenderloin steaks)

For salsa

1 large firm-ripe nectarine
1/2 green bell pepper
2 medium tomatoes
4 scallions
2 garlic cloves
1 small fresh chile (preferably habanero)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste

Preparation

  1. Make marinade:

    Step 1

    Finely chop scallion and in a bowl whisk together with remaining marinade ingredients.

    Step 2

    In a large heavy-duty sealable plastic bag combine marinade and steaks, turning steaks to coat with marinade, and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate steaks at room temperature 1 hour.

  2. Make salsa while steaks are marinating:

    Step 3

    Finely chop nectarine and bell pepper. Seed and finely chop tomatoes. Thinly slice white and pale-green parts of scallions and mince garlic. Wearing protective gloves, discard seeds and ribs from chile and finely chop chile. In a bowl stir together all salsa ingredients and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 4

    Prepare grill.

    Step 5

    Remove steaks from marinade, discarding it, and grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer steaks with tongs to a platter and let stand 5 minutes.

    Step 6

    Serve steaks with salsa.
