Steps:
- Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
- Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
- Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

- Whisk in black pepper.
- Coat Tenderloin on all sides, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 48 hours.
- Remove marinated beef 2 hours before cooking.
- Oil your grill grid and over medium high heat sear the beef.
- Sprinkle with salt.
- Remove from grill and place a pan soaked with hickory chips on a lower rack or place coals around it.
- Place Tenderloin of Beef on a rack above chips on medium heat.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH GRILLED SPRING ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Grind the toasted spices in a spice grinder and add to a small bowl with cayenne. Fold the tail end of the beef under to create a roll of meat that is even in thickness. Tie with butcher's twine to secure. This will help the meat to cook evenly and to be handled easily. Once the tenderloin is tied, season the beef generously with salt and rub with the spice mix. Give it a little massage with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Place the tenderloin on the preheated grill and grill on all sides until it is very brown and charred on the outside. When the tenderloin is nice and brown on all the sides, move it to a cooler part of the grill and shut the grill and cook until it is cooked to the desired doneness (medium rare for me), about 20 to 25 minutes or so for medium-rare. If cooking indoors, put the meat in a preheated 375 degrees F oven to roast to the desired doneness, about 125 to 130 degrees F for medium-rare. Remove the meat from the grill or oven to a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing; this will keep the tenderloin very juicy.
- Meanwhile, toss the onions with extra-virgin olive oil and salt and place on the preheated grill. Grill until they are soft and charred. Remove from the grill and reserve.
- To serve, remove the string from the beef. Cut into relatively thin slices, but thicker if you prefer. Serve 3 slices of beef, for each serving, with the grilled onions and a spoonful of Horseradish Cream.
- MMMMM...BIG MEAT!
- Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl. Taste for seasoning, adjust salt if needed. Easy peasy!

GARLICKY GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERBS
This is a recipe I cooked for my birthday. It was my very first tenderloin on the grill. The recipe was VERY easy. And it got rave reviews at the party. I actually scaled the recipe down for just 1 lb of tenderloin, but I'm including the whole recipe here. I got the recipe online from Food & Wine. I believe they used fresh herbs in the original recipe. I didn't have any fresh on hand, but I had a Ton of dried, so I used that and it was still wonderful. I have changed the recipe to reflect my use of dried herbs.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Mix seasoning and coat the tenderloin.
- Sear the filet on 4 sides on a grill pan for 2 min each. Finish in oven for 6 more minutes for medium rare.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef, making it ideal for grilling. Look for a tenderloin that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme is a good option.
- Cook the beef over high heat: Grilling the beef over high heat helps to sear the outside and keep the inside tender and juicy. Cook the beef for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let the beef rest before slicing: After grilling, let the beef rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the beef, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the beef with your favorite sides: Grilled beef tenderloin can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled beef tenderloin is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. By following these tips, you can cook a tenderloin that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
