GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-GARLIC-PEPPER COATING

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 1 1/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape).
• Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking.
• Then mix oil,rosemary,garlic,thyme,pepper and salt;rub over roast to coat.
• Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes,.
• Lubricate rack 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 the burner directly under 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.
