Tropical Tenderloin Steaks Recipe

Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon rum extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beef tenderloin roast (2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first 13 ingredients. Pour 2 cups into a large resealable plastic bag; add the beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. Yield: 8 servings.
