To turn beef tenderloin into a quick-cooking cut, grilling master Francis Mallmann butterflies it first to form a quarter-inch-thick slab, tops it with chives and then sears it quickly on a hot grill. "I love charring things very, very fast so that they're still raw in the middle," he says. If you aren't comfortable butterflying the tenderloin yourself, ask your butcher to do it.Slideshow:更多烧烤食谱

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Cut 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic head and set the head on a piece of foil. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap tightly and roast until tender, about 45 minutes. Unwrap the garlic and let cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the vinegar and season the dressing with sea salt and pepper.

  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Add the bread and cook over moderate heat, tossing, until golden and crisp all over, about 5 minutes. Arrange the croutons on plates.

  • Using a sharp knife, make a 1/4-inch-deep cut down the length of the filet mignon. Turning the filet and rolling it out as you go, spiral-cut the meat until you have a long, rectangular piece that's about 1/4 inch thick; alternatively, have your butcher butterfly the steak for you. Make 1/2-inch-deep slits every 2 inches along the grain all over the steak. Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper and arrange the chives on top, tucking them into the slits.

  • 预热铸铁煎锅。将剩余的1汤匙橄榄油加入煎锅中,然后用中火将牛排煮熟,朝上,直至变成褐色,约3分钟。翻转牛排,煮至细香葱烧焦,牛排中等稀有的内部,长2至3分钟。将牛排转移到切菜板上,静置5分钟。

  • Top the croutons with the basil and microgreens and spoon the roasted garlic dressing on the greens. Slice the steak against the grain and serve alongside.

Suggested Pairing

Malbec is understandably sublime with steak.
