Ingredients
- Beef tenderloin
- 2 pounds, trimmed
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, freshly cracked
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Optional: Balsamic reduction
- for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C), ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form a smooth seasoning paste.
- Generously rub the beef tenderloin with the seasoning mixture, ensuring an even coat on all sides for maximum flavor.
- Place the tenderloin on the hot grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, using a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature. Aim for 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired doneness.
- Once cooked to your preference, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
- Before serving, sprinkle the finely chopped rosemary over the tenderloin for a fresh burst of flavor. Slice the tenderloin into medallions and serve warm. For an elegant touch, drizzle with balsamic reduction if desired.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the tenderloin in the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary mixture for 2-4 hours before grilling.
- Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad to complement the richness of the beef.
- For those who enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
