Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds beef tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Strawberry Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef tenderloin, ensuring it is well-coated.
3. Place the beef tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
4. While the beef is grilling, prepare the strawberry sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Gently toss to coat the strawberries and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
6. Slice the beef tenderloin into medallions and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon the fresh strawberry sauce over the top and garnish with chopped basil.
7. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef tenderloin to come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Use a high-quality cut of beef for the best flavor and tenderness.
• Let the beef rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
• Adjust the sweetness of the strawberry sauce by adding more or less honey according to your taste.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the strawberries with other fruits like peaches or raspberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a splash of red wine to the strawberry sauce for a deeper flavor.
• Incorporate additional herbs like thyme or rosemary into the beef rub for added aroma.

What to Serve With It

• A side of garlic mashed potatoes complements the beef beautifully.
• Grilled asparagus or green beans add a fresh touch.
• A simple mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette balances the meal.
• Crusty bread can be served to soak up any extra sauce.
