Preparation

  2. Take the meat out of the marinade 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
  3. Preheat BBQ to medium-high (220°C - 425°F).
  4. Prepare labneh by mixing all ingredients. Set aside in a cool place.
  5. Drain the veal filet and discard the marinade.
  6. Sear the filet for 2 minutes on each side on the hot, oiled grill.
  7. For indirect cooking: turn off the burners on one side of the BBQ, move the filet to that side, close the lid and cook for 15 to 18 minutes (internal temperature 66°C / 150°F). Let stand for 8 to 10 minutes under a sheet of aluminum foil.
