Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef tenderloin
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly cracked
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin, pat it dry with paper towels, and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a paste forms.
Rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring even coverage. Let the meat marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated beef tenderloin on the grill. Sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side to create a golden-brown crust.
Reduce the grill heat to medium (around 350°F) and continue to grill the tenderloin for 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
Brush the meat with melted butter during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor and juiciness.
Remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Sprinkle the tenderloin with lemon zest, slice it into thick medallions, and serve immediately along with your favorite sides.
