How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Potatoes

- Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking dish and roast in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, stirring halfway through.

- Place the beef tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s at least 145°F for safety.
- Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced beef tenderloin with the garlic roasted potatoes on the side and a drizzle of tomato sauce.
