1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2
Marinate the Meat
Place the contra filet in a large dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for optimal flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 200°C or 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals for direct grilling.
4
Grill the Contra Filet
Remove the contra filet from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the meat on the hot grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
5
Rest the Meat
Once cooked, remove the contra filet from the grill. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

6
Slice and Serve
Slice the contra filet against the grain into thick slices. Arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
