Grilled Beef Tenderloin is infused with delicious flavor and super easy to make. Serve with horseradish, mashed potatoes, and green beans.

Prep: 10min

Total: 5h

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (2-lb.) center-cut beef tenderloin, tied with twine at 1½” intervals
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp. neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable)

Instruction:

  1. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Rub all over the beef and place beef on a wire rack placed inside a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. Let the beef come to room temperature before grilling.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash together the butter, shallot, parsley, and ½ teaspoon salt with a rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Preheat grill to medium high for 3 minutes. Drizzle the oil evenly over the beef.
  4. Grill the beef, turning every 5 minutes, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the beef reads 125° for rare, 135° for medium rare and 145° for medium, 25 to 35 minutes.
  5. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the shallot-herb butter. 

FAQ

What is the best way to grill a tenderloin steak?

Heat your grill to medium high heat, and set up for direct heat cooking. Once the grill is hot, place the tenderloin filets directly over the heat, and cook for approximately 8 minutes. Cook for 2 minutes per side on the long sides, then cook for 1 minute per side on the short sides.

Which cooking method is best for beef tenderloin?

By roasting the meat on low heat for a few hours, you allow it to cook to the same temperature all the way through, instead of having it be more done on the outside than in the middle. Searing the tenderloin at the end adds beautiful color and the most delicious crispy crust.

How long does a tenderloin take to grill?

Cook until rosy pink and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), 45 to 60 minutes. Cook time will depend on tenderloin size and grill. Let tenderloin rest 15 minutes before carving.

Is beef tenderloin good for grilling?

Let the tenderloin rest at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling. 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.
