This juicy and flavorful tenderloin is marinated with a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil, and then grilled to perfection. Serve it with your favorite sides for a delicious and satisfying meal. With a prep time of only 15 minutes, this recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the beef tenderloin in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the tenderloin is coated on all sides. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the tenderloin from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade.
  5. Place the tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (medium-rare), 160°F (medium), or 170°F (well done).
  6. Once cooked, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  7. Slice the tenderloin into thin slices and serve hot with your favorite sides.
