Instructions:

2. Cook the Steak:
- Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill the beef fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
3. Finish with Gravy:

- Drizzle the warm gravy over the cooked steaks just before serving.
5. Prepare the Vegetables:

- Ensure your beef fillets are at room temperature before you begin grilling. This helps them cook evenly.
