Made this tonight. Had tenderloin tips from D’Artagnan in the freezer. This was so delicious. Spicy, but not too spicy. We commented several times during dinner just how delicious the marinade was for the meat. Did not have chicken stock so the sauce was more chopped herbs and butter.

Very tasty. Added veggies on skewers zucchini onions red peppers and hanger steak.

I have children in the household so I decided to make this without the chipotle. I doubled the recipe and put 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder in to give some of the taste. I wasn't sure if you are supposed to brush on the ingredients in step 4 before grilling and in the end, we served that sauce for dipping. We did not use butter in the sauce because of food allergies. We liked it both ways, with the dipping sauce and without. This was enjoyed by all.
