preparation
➊ Remove the fillet head along the fleece so that the middle part and the tip remain intact - this part is ideal for cutting small steaks from. Then lightly salt the middle part and carefully cut a pocket lengthwise into the meat with a sharp knife. A clean cut is necessary so that the tender meat does not tear when cutting. Make sure not to cut too deeply into the meat.
➋ For the filling, drain the mozzarella and mash it with a fork. Cut the dried tomatoes into small pieces and mix with the red pepper flakes and mozzarella. Then press the filling into the pocket, close it with toothpicks across the grain and tie the fillet like a shoe with kitchen string.
➌ For the side dish, chop the spring onions, wash and dice the potatoes and peppers. Put all the ingredients together in a casserole dish or roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
➍ Prepare a grill with a lid for direct and indirect grilling and first grill the fillet on all sides over direct heat. Then let it cook in the indirect grill zone at 110 - 120 °C until the core temperature reaches 51 °C. During this time, put the vegetables on the grill for around 25 minutes. Let the meat rest in aluminum foil for 5-10 minutes and then enjoy.
