Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Berry Sauce

1. Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, prepare the beef tenderloin.
2. Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Once the grill is ready, place the tenderloin on the grill and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well-done. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
4. While the beef is grilling, prepare the berry sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
5. Cook the berry mixture, stirring gently, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. In a separate small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm. Add the butter and stir until melted and combined.
7. Once the beef is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
8. To serve, drizzle the creamy sauce on the plate, place slices of the beef tenderloin on top, and spoon the berry sauce over the beef. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the perfect doneness.
• Don’t skip resting the meat after grilling; it helps retain the juices.
• Adjust the sweetness of the berry sauce to your taste by modifying the amount of sugar.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the beef tenderloin with pork tenderloin for a different flavor profile.
• Use a mix of other berries like strawberries or blackberries for a unique sauce.
• Add a splash of red wine to the berry sauce for added depth.

What to Serve With It

• Garlic mashed potatoes for a creamy side.
• Grilled asparagus or green beans for a fresh touch.
• A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish.
