Texas Beef Tenderloin

a wonderful summer BBQ recipe

4 beef tenderloin medallions, each about 1 inch thick
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 cup Marinade, Spicy Southwest flavour
1 tsp chili powder
2 cobs corn, husked
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 avocado, sliced


  • Sprinkle the medallions with salt and pepper.  Stir 1/3 cup of the marinade with the chili powder. Reserve 2 tbsp of this mixture.  Brush the remaining mixture over the steaks and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the grill to medium high and grease lightly.  Blanch the corn in boiling water for 3 minutes.  Brush with the reserved marinade-chili mixture.  Grill for 10 minutes, turning often, or until well marked.  Cool to room temperature.  Stand the cobs on their ends and cut the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife.  Toss the corn with the remaining marinade, red onion, coriander and lime juice.
  • Grill the medallions for 5 to 7 minutes, turning once or until medium rare.  Fan the sliced avocado on four dinner plates.  Spoon over the corn relish and arrange the grilled steaks over top.  Makes 4 servings.
