Looking to show off on the grid this weekend without spending hours in the kitchen? We’ve got a fillet recipe that sounds seriously fancy but takes literally zero effort. With a 2-minute prep time, you’ve got plenty of time to focus on getting the coals perfect—and keeping your drink topped up.
Here’s how to bring the heat and impress your mates (or your date).
The Quick Stats
- Prep Time: 2 mins (basically just opening the packets)
- Time on the Fire: 10 mins
- Serves: 2 people
Your Arsenal (Ingredients)
- 2x Lekker thick Fillet Steaks
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Whiskey (Pro tip: one splash for the pan, one for the braai master)
- 75ml Double cream
- 1 tbsp Grain mustard
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Hit the Grid
Rub your fillets with the olive oil and season them up with some salt and pepper. Chuck them straight onto the hot coals and braai them exactly how you like them. (We’re big fans of medium-rare, but hey, you’re the braai master).
2. The Magic Sauce
Get a small pan going—bonus points if it's a little cast-iron potjie straight on the grid. Stir your whiskey, double cream, and grain mustard together in the pan.
3. Let it Bubble
Bring the sauce to a rapid boil for about 2 minutes until it gets nice and thick. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't catch!
4. The Flex
Pull your steaks, let them rest for a minute, and then drown them in that rich whiskey mustard sauce. Serve it up hot.
