Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage
  • 1/4 cup fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound center-cut beef tenderloin, trimmed of fat

Instructions:

Place the first 8 ingredients (vinegar through black pepper) in a blender. Puree until mostly smooth.

Cut the meat into serving-sized medallions.

Place the meat in a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the tenderloin. Cover and refrigerate over night, turning the medallions at least once during marination.

Bring the tenderloin to room temperature; scrape marinade off the meat.

Grill the meat over a medium to medium-hot flame, turning occasionally, until the meat reaches the desired level of doneness. Serve immediately.
