Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Raspberry Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Place the tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
4. While the beef is grilling, prepare the raspberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and water.
5. Cook the mixture, stirring gently, until the raspberries break down and the sauce starts to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
6. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the sauce, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened.
7. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
8. Slice the tenderloin into medallions and drizzle the raspberry sauce over the top before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Let the beef come to room temperature before grilling for more even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the beef.
• Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving for a thicker consistency.
• Garnish with additional fresh raspberries for a beautiful presentation.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of red wine to the sauce for extra depth.
• For a spicy kick, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the sauce.

What to Serve With It

• Garlic mashed potatoes for a creamy side.
• Grilled asparagus or green beans for a fresh, crunchy texture.
• A mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
• Crusty bread to soak up the delicious raspberry sauce.
