4 tablespoons roast garlic infused olive oil
4 tablespoons finely chopped shallots or 4 tablespoons red onions
fresh dill
1 lemon, cut in half

  • Finish with the crushed peppercorns.

  • Note: Keep a spray bottle of water close at hand in case the wood starts to burn.
  • Place the filets on top of the plank.
  • If your BBQ has two burners, turn off the one beneath the wood.
  • If not, turn the heat to the lowest setting.
  • Close the cover and cook for about 10- 12 minutes or until nearly cooked all the way through.
  • Don't overcook.
  • Squeeze some lemon juice over the top, serve and enjoy.
