Ingredients
- 5 pounds beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium‑high heat (about 450°F/232°C).
- In a small bowl combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme to form a paste.
- Pat the beef tenderloin dry and rub the herb paste all over the meat. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Grill the tenderloin for 20‑25 minutes total, turning every 5‑7 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium‑rare (or 140°F for medium).
- Remove from grill, tent loosely with foil, and rest 5‑10 minutes.
- Slice against the grain into ½‑inch medallions and serve.
Notes
