I love combining fruits and chiles to make flavorful glazes. This recipe has evolved over the years. It uses ancho chili powder, which lends a nice smokey flavor. I like to serve the juicy fillets over rice, potatoes or cheesy grits. —Anna Ginsberg, Chicago, Illinois

Ingredients

2 beef tenderloin steaks (5 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 cup peach preserves
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
3/4 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper
1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

1. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook steaks in oil over medium heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 5-8 minutes on each side.
2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; pour over steaks. Cook until glaze is heated through, 1-2 minutes.
