Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Citrus and Berries

1. Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.
2. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F).
3. Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
4. Place the tenderloin on the grill and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
5. During the last minute of grilling, place the butter on top of the tenderloin and allow it to melt.
6. Remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
7. While the meat is resting, grill the orange and lemon slices for about 2 minutes on each side until they are slightly charred.
8. Slice the beef tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions and arrange them on a platter. Top with grilled citrus slices, fresh raspberries, and sprinkle with thyme leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to reach room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the desired doneness is achieved.
• Let the beef rest after grilling to retain its juices.
• Feel free to replace the raspberries with other berries like blueberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.

Easy Variations

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
• Swap the butter for a compound herb butter for added flavor.
• Incorporate a balsamic reduction drizzled over the beef for a tangy finish.

What to Serve With It

• A side of garlic mashed potatoes for a comforting touch.
• Grilled asparagus or green beans for a fresh vegetable option.
• A light salad with mixed greens and a citrus vinaigrette to complement the dish.
• Crusty bread to soak up the juices.
