Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup cooked quinoa or couscous
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Berry Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper, rubbing it evenly over the surface.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the beef, ensuring it’s well coated.
4. Place the beef on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (135°F for medium-rare).
5. While the beef is grilling, prepare the berry sauce. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
6. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before straining it through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
8. Once the beef is done, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it into medallions.
9. To serve, spoon the cooked quinoa or couscous onto plates, top with sliced beef, and drizzle with the fresh berry sauce. Garnish with mint leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
• Don’t skip the resting time after cooking; it allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier cut.
• Adjust the sweetness of the berry sauce by adding more or less sugar based on your taste preferences.

Easy Variations

• Swap the beef tenderloin for grilled chicken breast or pork tenderloin for a different protein option.
• Use a mix of different berries, such as strawberries or blackberries, for a unique flavor profile.
• Add a splash of red wine to the berry sauce for added depth and richness.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Roasted seasonal vegetables for added color and nutrition
• Garlic bread or artisan rolls for a hearty side
• A glass of red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the beef
