How to Make Merlot Marinated Grilled Beef

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup Merlot, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 2 pounds of beef filets to the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly.
  3. Marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Place marinated beef filets on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for approximately 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preference (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  7. Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite rice and vegetables. (Optional: You can deglaze the grill pan with a bit of the remaining marinade for extra flavor, simmering for a few minutes before drizzling it over the sliced steak.)
