Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Berry Sauce

1. Start by prepping the beef tenderloin. Rub the tenderloin with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, ensuring an even coating. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
2. While the beef is resting, prepare the mixed berry sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Preheat your grill to high heat. Once hot, place the beef tenderloin on the grill. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
4. Remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender cut.
5. Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle the berry sauce over the top and garnish with chopped fresh mint before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness to ensure perfectly cooked beef.
• Allow the beef to rest after grilling to retain its juiciness.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding more or less honey to suit your taste.
• For an added depth of flavor, marinate the beef in olive oil, salt, and pepper for a few hours before grilling.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the mixed berries with other fruits like peaches or cherries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of red wine to the berry sauce for added richness.
• Experiment with herbs in the berry sauce, such as rosemary or thyme, for an aromatic twist.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic roasted potatoes for a comforting side.
• A fresh arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette to balance the richness of the beef.
• Grilled asparagus or green beans for a vibrant, healthy addition.
• Crusty artisan bread to soak up the delicious berry sauce.
