Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tenderloin

    Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub olive oil over the entire surface of the tenderloin. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450-500°F or 232-260°C).

  4. 4

    Chargrill the Filet

    Place the seasoned tenderloin on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the filet from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
