Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tenderloin

    Trim any excess fat from the beef tenderloin. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Rub the tenderloin with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Make sure to coat evenly. Add the chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic to the meat, ensuring it is well seasoned.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). If using charcoal, ensure the coals are glowing red and covered with gray ash.

  2. 4

    Grill the Tenderloin

    Place the seasoned tenderloin on the grill. Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, flipping it every few minutes to achieve an even cook. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

  3. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the tenderloin into thick steaks. Serve with a pat of butter on top, lemon wedges, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish.
