Grilling beef tenderloin adds the perfect depth of flavor you’ve been looking for!
Ingredients:
- 1 beef tenderloin (4 pounds), preferably grass fed (estanciabeef.com), trimmed and tied
- extra-virgin olive oil
- freshly ground pepper
- coarse salt
- 1/2 cup Mint-Chive Butter
Instructions:
- 1. Let beef stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat a charcoal grill to medium-high, and set up direct and indirect heat zones. Rub beef with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides over direct heat until caramelized, about 5 minutes per side.
- 2. Transfer beef to indirect heat, and grill, covered, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 20 to 30 minutes. (Grilling time will vary depending on thickness of tenderloin.) Remove beef from grill, and brush with mint-chive butter. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving; untie.
