Ingredients
- 1 pound beef tenderloin
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce (for serving)
How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Potatoes
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For the oven method, preheat your oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
- If using the grill, spread the seasoned potatoes in a grill basket or wrap them in aluminum foil. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and tender. If baking, spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the potatoes are cooking, season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Rub the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the meat.
- Place the tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F.
- Once cooked, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced beef tenderloin alongside the herb-roasted potatoes and drizzle with tomato sauce for added flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- Let the beef tenderloin sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness and avoid overcooking.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your preference; parsley or oregano can also work beautifully.
Easy Variations
- Swap the baby potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter, healthier twist.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the roasting pan for a colorful side.
- For a spicy kick, mix in some red pepper flakes with the potatoes.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
- Garlic bread for a comforting side.
- Steamed asparagus or green beans for a pop of color and crunch.
