Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the glaze ahead of time: Wilt the onion in the oil over low heat in a heavy saucepan until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 3 minutes longer.

Stir in the orange juice, molasses and rum. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until the mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Brush the fillets with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 minutes on one side. Using tongs, turn the meat; brush the glaze on the top and sides. Grill for another 5 minutes for medium-rare meat. Turn and grill the meat on the sides to brown for 1 to 2 minutes, brushing all over with the glaze. Let the meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing 1/2-inch thick.
