how to grill beef tenderloin steaks

Grilling beef tenderloin steaks is a great way to enjoy this tender and flavorful cut of meat. Here’s a simple guide on how to grill beef tenderloin steaks:

1. Preheat your grill: Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to high heat (around 450°F).
2. Prepare the steaks: Take the beef tenderloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling. This will help them cook evenly. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
3. Oil the grill grates: Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil or use a non-stick spray to prevent the steaks from sticking.
4. Grill the steaks: Place the beef tenderloin steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. Use tongs to flip the steaks only once during cooking, as flipping them too often can cause the meat to dry out.
5. Rest the steaks: Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
6. Serve and enjoy: Serve the grilled beef tenderloin steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a baked potato.

Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the beef tenderloin steaks and the temperature of your grill. It’s always best to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat, which should be:

• 125°F for rare
• 130-135°F for medium rare
• 140-145°F for medium
