Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 13

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (5 pound) whole beef tenderloin
6 tablespoons olive oil
8 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
  • Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
  • Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

4 pound beef tenderloin
1/2 cup butter

2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoon koshers salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

Steps:

  • Set tenderloin out to come to room temperature about an hour before grilling.
  • Trim any silver skin by running a sharp knife down the edge to remove the thin layer.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH STEVE'S RUB



Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Steve's Rub image

Steve's Dry Rub is so flavorful. Use it on any beef, chicken or pork. Double or triple the rub recipe and package it up to give as a hostess gift.

Provided by Jurga

Categories     Beef     Main Course     Spice Mix

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds whole beef tenderloin
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons Steve's Rub (recipe follows)
3 Tablespoons fine sea salt
2 Tablespoons paprika
2 Tablespoons celery salt
2 Tablespoons onion powder
2 Tablespoons coarsely ground pepper
2 Tablespoons garlic powder
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients and store in an air tight container.
  • At least 2-1/2 hours before serving prepare the tenderloin by trimming off the excess fat.
  • Brush the beef with balsamic vinegar then olive oil and season with 2 Tablespoons of the dry rub.
  • Cover the tenderloin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (I like to let mine marinate overnight). Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off the meat.
  • Preheat the grill to a high temperature for searing.
  • Sear the tenderloin for 4 minutes on each side.
  • Turn the grill down to medium. If you have 2 or more burners, leave one burner on medium-high and turn one off. Put the meat over the burner that is off, then close the lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes for medium rare. Depending on the heat of your grill and the thickness of the roast, the time can vary. The best way to determine doneness is to use a thermometer. Medium rare beef is 135°F.
  • Let the tenderloin rest for at least 15 minutes under a foil tent before slicing. This will give the juices time to settle into the meat.

GARLICKY GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERBS



Garlicky Grilled Beef Tenderloin With Herbs image

This is a recipe I cooked for my birthday. It was my very first tenderloin on the grill. The recipe was VERY easy. And it got rave reviews at the party. I actually scaled the recipe down for just 1 lb of tenderloin, but I'm including the whole recipe here. I got the recipe online from Food & Wine. I believe they used fresh herbs in the original recipe. I didn't have any fresh on hand, but I had a Ton of dried, so I used that and it was still wonderful. I have changed the recipe to reflect my use of dried herbs.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN



Grilled Beef Tenderloin image

You'll want to double the compound butter recipe for this grilled beef tenderloin because of its fresh and savory notes.

Provided by Melissa Hamilton & Christopher Hirsheimer

Categories     Mains

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks (8 oz) salted butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, sage, and thyme)
1 small shallot (finely chopped)
1 garlic clove (finely chopped (optional))
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (6-to 7-pound) whole beef tenderloin*
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or more, if needed)
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper (or more, to taste)
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the butter with a wooden spoon until creamy and smooth.
  • Add the herbs, shallot, and garlic, if using. Season the butter with salt and black pepper and stir until well combined.
  • Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, trim any fat. Slide the blade under the long silvery membrane and remove it.
  • Fold about 6 inches (15 cm) of the thin flap end of the meat under the rest of the tenderloin to make it about as thick as the rest of the filet and ensure even cooking. Tie the tenderloin with kitchen string at 3-inch (8-cm) intervals.
  • Rub the tenderloin all over with oil. Rub with pepper, pressing it into the meat, and season with salt.
  • Prepare a medium-hot charcoal or gas grill for indirect grilling. Grill the beef over the hottest part of the grill, turning it every few minutes so a slightly charred crust develops all over, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Carefully move the tenderloin to the cooler side of the grill and cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 120°F (49°C) for rare and 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 7 to 12 minutes.
  • Let the beef rest on a cutting board for at least 20 minutes. Snip off the string, slice the meat, and serve on a platter, or plated and topped with a smear of compound herb butter. (Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days and are mighty lovely served cold.)

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH HERBS



GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH HERBS image

Categories     Beef     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 center-cut beef tenderloin (3 to 4 lbs.)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
12 large fresh basil leaves
12 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
6 to 9 garlic cloves, minced
About 2 tsp. sea salt, divided
About 1/2 tsp. pepper, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sage, basil, or thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • 1. Bring meat to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cut through meat horizontally (parallel to work surface) to within 1/2 in. of other side. Lay meat open like a book and spread with mustard, then top with basil and sage leaves. Sprinkle with thyme leaves, garlic, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. 2. Close up roast and tie with cotton string at 1-in. intervals. Rub all over with oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. 3. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect medium heat, using a drip pan filled halfway with warm water. Grill beef over indirect-heat area, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 130° to 135° for rare, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer beef to a platter and let rest 20 minutes. 4. Remove string. Top beef with herb sprigs. Slice and add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose a tenderloin steak that is at least 1 1/2 inches thick. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly and stays juicy.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the steak. This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep the juices inside.
  • Cook the steak for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the cooked steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled beef tenderloin is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can cook a tenderloin steak that is cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
