Rubbed and Grilled Tenderloin!

We stepped outside of our usual routine for our Christmas meal and decided to give one of these a shot.  WOW! We are so glad we gave it a try, and we’re happy to pass the recipe and advice on to you.

Recipe:

A Whole (5-7#) Trimmed Beef Tenderloin (Fillet) – Rolled and Tied for Roasting.

In a bowl combine:

6 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 Tbsp of Minced Garlic 

2 Tsp Ground Rosemary

1 Tbsp Dried Thyme Leaves

2 Tbsp Coarse Black Pepper (Ground)

1 Tbsp Salt

Combine all spices with oil and stir into a rub.

 

Apply liberally all over the prepared tenderloin and let rest for 30-45 min at room temperature.

 

Heat grill on high (~500) and take an old rag or towel and olive oil and rub down the grill grates.

Place the Fillet on the grill at this temperature for 5 minutes, then flip to the other side for 5 minutes.  Afterward, back temperature off to low/medium (~300) and let cook for 45 minutes.

 

Remove, let set for 5 minutes to set up, slice and serve!

 

This was one of the best Christmas meals we have ever enjoyed, and it’s a great way to change up the typical holiday meal.
