Whole Grilled Tenderloin

By Chef Lynn Michelle

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole beef tenderloin – trim it yourself or have your butcher do this
  • Chicago or Montreal Grill Time Seasoning

Directions:

  • Use a sharp knife or scissors to remove silver skin and trim excess fat from tenderloin. Fold the thinner end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the beef tenderloin.
  • Season the entire tenderloin; rub over tenderloin to coat. Let sit while you preheat the grill.
  • Preheat a gas grill to high for 10 minutes and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place tenderloin on the hot grill and close the lid. Grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on all sides on medium to high flame. 
  • Do not leave the grill during this time; the flames could flare up.  
  • Turn off the burner directly underneath the tenderloin and turn the remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. 
  • Cook until rosy pink and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130°F, about 45 to 60 minutes. Cook time will depend on tenderloin size and the grill type. 
  • Let tenderloin rest 15 minutes before carving
