Grilled Beef Tenderloin

Grilled Beef Tenderloin is a luxurious and delicious dish that showcases the tenderness and flavor of the beef. It's perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress your guests with a mouthwatering steak.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to high heat.
2. Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin. This will ensure even cooking and a more appealing presentation.
3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme. Stir well to create a marinade.
4. Brush the marinade generously over the beef tenderloin, coating it on all sides. Allow the tenderloin to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
5. Season the marinated beef tenderloin with salt and pepper just before grilling. Be generous with the seasoning to enhance the taste of the meat.
6. Place the beef tenderloin on the preheated grill and sear it for about 2-3 minutes on each side. This will help to develop a flavorful crust.
7. Once seared, reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling the beef tenderloin, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of around 135°F (57°C). Remember that the temperature will rise a few degrees while the meat rests.
8. Remove the beef tenderloin from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become tender.
9. After resting, slice the beef tenderloin into thick, juicy steaks. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Grilled Beef Tenderloin pairs well with a variety of side dishes such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad. It's a fantastic choice for a special dinner or any occasion where you want to savor the exquisite flavors of a perfectly grilled steak.
