Elaboration:
- 20 minutes before making the meat leave it at room temperature covered with a plastic film or a plate.
- We need the barbecue to have embers and for this, we light the barbecue for 20-30 minutes before starting to cook, until the embers have a grayish tone. Never put the meat with the barbecue on fire.
-Mix the oil with a little pepper and salt, paint the fillets with a silicone brush and add the meat to the grill.
- If the meat you prefer "at your point" will be 6 minutes per side. In the case that the meat you prefer very cooked, cook 8 minutes per side.
-At the time of serving these fillets they do not need more than a good wine like Corriente 2015.
To enjoy!
In 1994, Pablo Eguzkiza and Telmo Rodriguez together with a third winemaker made a wine from Garnacho, from old vineyards in the Navarre glass. The wine was called Alma. This is the start of the project, which in its origins was called La Granja Wine Company. A name that was all a declaration of intentions: it was clear that the company would make more wines and that there was a tribute to La Granja, the famous glass factory, witness of an exceptional Spanish craftsmanship, now almost disappeared.
Since its inception, the fundamental argument of the Telmo Rodriguez Wine Company is the use only of autochthonous varieties of original zones. This philosophy contrasts then with the boom of the implantation of foreign varieties, practically in all the Spanish vineyard.
Another initiative to which the project wants to pay special attention, also from its origins, is the recovery of forgotten vineyards.
