Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and sliced
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Pineapple
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef tenderloin.
- In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with garlic powder, rosemary, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the seasoned potatoes on one side of the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and tender.
- While the potatoes are grilling, place the beef tenderloin on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.
- During the last few minutes of cooking the beef, add the pineapple slices to the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized.
- Once the beef is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a tender finish.
- Serve the sliced beef tenderloin alongside the grilled pineapple and seasoned potatoes. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired for an extra layer of flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your grill is well-preheated for a good sear on the beef.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately.
- Let the beef rest before slicing to maintain juiciness.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs on the plate for garnish.
Easy Variations
- Swap the beef tenderloin for chicken breast or pork tenderloin for different flavor profiles.
- Experiment with different seasonings on the potatoes, such as smoked paprika or Cajun seasoning.
- Try adding other fruits like peaches or mangoes on the grill for a unique twist.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh green salad with a citrus vinaigrette.
- Grilled asparagus or green beans for a vibrant side.
- Crusty bread or garlic bread to soak up juices.
- A light, fruity white wine or iced tea for a refreshing drink.
Storage and Reheating
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat the beef and potatoes in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or enjoy them cold in a salad.
