Grilled Miso-Marinated Filet Mignon

It was hard for me to try this recipe on two levels.  First, finding miso paste was incredibly difficult.  I finally located it in the refrigerated section of the local health food store.  Second, when it came time to actually marinate the beef, it was hard to risk a new recipe with an expensive cut of meat.  But, I swallowed hard and went for it.  It was fabulous!  The recipe, as printed, is below.  Serving suggestion is "Sugar Snap Noodle Salad" but I went for baked potatoes.  No need to take two major culinary leaps in the same day. ;)
