PEACH-GLAZED BEEF FILETS

Peach-Glazed Beef Filets image

I love combining fruits and chiles to make flavorful glazes. This recipe has evolved over the years. It uses ancho chili powder, which lends a nice smokey flavor. I like to serve the juicy fillets over rice, potatoes or cheesy grits. -Anna Ginsberg, Chicago, Illinois
