Guns, Figs and Flowers
Guns, Figs and Flowers
Fillet of beef with honey, lemon and figs
For our recipe, you’ll need crunchy, fresh ingredients: Fennel salad and lemon for the wet rub, plus figs, rocket and romaine lettuce. You’ve already got the Figs and the Flowers? Then you’re still gonna need the Guns!
At the heart of the recipe is the finger-thick cuts taken from 300 grams of the best fillet of beef. Of course, you can only make clean cuts with a really sharp knife. And because the meat is so lean and thin, the BBQ Brothers only sear it from one side.
A premium beef cut: Everything you need to know about the fillet of beef
The fillet stems from the inner loin muscles of the back and consists of three sections:
- Tail
- Centre Cut
- Head
For our fillet of beef on a bed of lettuce, you should use cuts from the head of the fillet, which is used, among other things, to make the famous “Chateaubriand” dish. When buying beef, make sure it is of a high quality – you can recognise a high-quality fillet of beef by its deep, red colour. You can discover everything on the setup and preparation of this beef cut on our page about the fillet of beef.
Your grill is a bit older and can’t cope with the 250 °C required for the recipe? You’ll surely find the right solution for you amongst our gas grills!
