Pan-Fried Filet of Beef with Tomato and Herbs

This dish is always a favorite at wedding receptions. The sweet and salty marinade creates a lusty meat that is almost buttery in texture and flavor. With the fresh tomatoes and herbs, the dish comes out light and clean. The meat is best suited for pan-frying, as the residual juices and marinade can be tossed in the skillet together with the tomatoes and herbs for added flavor. Grilling is a satisfactory variation.
