Easy Grilled Beef Tenderloin Recipe
Beef Tenderloin is often considered to be the king of steaks, the best cut, and the most tender and juicy. It’s very lean and often has just enough fat marbled in to give it its tenderness and wonderful flavor. Learn how to make a delicious filet mignon steak of your very own right at home on your Foreman Grill.
Ingredients
- 1 filet mignon steak 1.5″ thick, 6 ounce
- ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your Foreman Grill with the lid closed for at least 5 minutes. Use the highest temp setting if you have one. This is important! You want the grill to be as hot as possible when cooking your steak.
- Butterfly cut the steak. This is the process of slicing it in half thickness wise, essentially making 2 steaks of approximately 3/4″ thick.
- When slicing, don’t go all the way through. At the end of the slice leave just enough so that the steak holds together and opens up flat, like a butterfly.
- Combine all ingredients in a shallow dish and make sure steak is coated well. You can pierce the steak with a fork a few times to help the ingredients penetrate. If you’re able to do this step a few hours ahead of time and let sit in the fridge to marinate – even better.
- Place steak on the grill and close lid.
- Leave it alone for at least 4 minutes. Cooking times will vary but will generally be 4-7 minutes for rare, 6-9 minutes for medium-rare. But always check it after 4 minutes – that’s the magic time when it may be done enough for a good rare steak.
- If desired, rotate the steak a 1/4 turn halfway through the grilling process to get those nice crisscross grill marks.
