Grilled Beef Tenderloin

Ingredients

• Beef tenderloin

• Salt

• Pepper

Directions

Salt and pepper the tenderloin and let it come to room temperature.

Before lighting the grill, spray grill surface with PAM. Light the grill with all three burners on high. Heat grill to 450-500. With the lid closed. Turn off center burner and outside burners turn to medium.

Open grill top and let some heat escape and wire brush the surface clean. Always use tongs and never a fork to place and turn the meat.

Place tenderloin in the middle (no direct flames). Let cook about 5-7 minutes to brown and turn over for another 5-7 minutes. Both sides should be seared by now. Check the grill heat with the cover closed and keep it between 350-375.

Cook another 15-20 minutes flipping as you check the temperature sear on the outside. You don’t want it to burn or blacken the outside. If it’s doing this, lower the temperature of the outer burners.

Use a meat thermometer to check if it’s done by inserting in the middle towards the end. 140 degrees is plenty since it will keep cooking as it rests inside lightly covered.

Serve with:

• Herb butter

• Horseradish
