Grilled Beef Tenderloin in a Kefir-Kiwi Marinade
This recipe for grilled beef makes for delicious meat when you're out enjoying the day! It's lean, it's really tasty, and beef takes beautifully to the grill. Grilled beef has an unforgettable aroma and terrific flavor, and unlike fattier pork it's much lighter. Tenderloin or top sirloin work best here — go for a cut like that, since tougher cuts may not turn out tender enough. If you do plan to use a tougher cut, put extra care into the marinade: don't rush it, and let the meat soak up the flavors well.

- Cut the beef into 6 pieces against the grain, pound them lightly, and marinate. The marinade is a matter of personal taste — the main thing is that it be acidic and taste the way you like it. Personally, I love marinating in kefir, kiwi, and lemon. Add chopped onion and pepper to taste, and salt it. When I use lemon, I squeeze the juice from one half over the meat and cut the other half into slices to lay over the pieces. Don't rush grilling the beef — give it a good 3–4 hours to marinate, then cook it slowly over the grate for about an hour. As it cooks, baste the meat with the leftover marinade so it doesn't dry out. Test for doneness by piercing it — it should feel tender. The onion from the marinade can be grilled too and served alongside the meat. Grilled beef is best served with fresh herbs and a scattering of green onion. (Note: kiwi contains an enzyme that tenderizes quickly, so don't over-marinate or the meat can turn mushy.)
