Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin
• 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and sliced into rings
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Pineapple

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
3. Place the seasoned potatoes in a grill basket or on a sheet of aluminum foil, and set them on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.
4. While the potatoes are cooking, season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the meat to prevent sticking.
5. Place the beef tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the meat. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F.
6. During the last few minutes of grilling, add the pineapple rings to the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they have nice grill marks and are caramelized.
7. Once cooked, remove the beef tenderloin and pineapple from the grill. Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the sliced beef tenderloin with the grilled pineapple and seasoned potatoes on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef tenderloin to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the beef; aim for 135°F for medium-rare.
• If you prefer your pineapple less sweet, grill it for a shorter time to maintain its firmness.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the fresh herbs with your favorite dry spices or marinades for a different flavor profile.
• Try adding bell peppers or zucchini to the grill alongside the potatoes for added color and nutrition.
• For a tropical twist, drizzle a bit of teriyaki sauce over the grilled pineapple before serving.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Grilled asparagus or green beans for a pop of color and crunch.
• A side of quinoa or rice pilaf to complement the meal.
