Variation

In the marinade, use red or dry white wine in place of the vinegar; use parsley or chives in place of the oregano. To barbecue the tournedos, marinate as direct­ed in Steps 1 and 2.

Heat a barbecue until coals form white ash. Place on a rack over the barbecue; cook for about 6 minutes per side for medium steak

Cooks Tips

Balsamic vinegar, a dark red vinegar made in Italy from the unfermented juice of pressed grapes, has a richly sweet and sour flavour

Grilled and barbecued steaks are at their juiciest when they are cooked to the medium-rare to medium stage. Because of the intense heat, it is difficult to grill or barbecue steaks to the well-done stage and still keep them juicy. After grilling, let the steaks stand for a few minutes before serving so that the flavoursome juices can accumulate
