Great, simple recipe! I could not find cherry tomatoes-on-the-stalk, so used the small plum tomatoes. The recipe is straighforward, and I only seared the fillet on all sides in a non-stick pan (sorry, would have loved to grill but that was not possible). We like our fillet to be pink-rare, as on the photo. Thanks for a great but easy recipe!! Would love to do this on the Weber!
