\ud83e\udd69 The noblest cut, the simplest method<\/h3>\n

Beef tenderloin on the BBQ is one of my favorite grilled dishes and I never get tired of it. It’s a flavorful cut without being fatty, naturally tender and ready in record time. No need for complicated techniques or chef tools to achieve a perfect tenderloin. Just a good marinade, a hot barbecue and 8 minutes of cooking. I developed this balsamic marinade specifically for my summer grilling, and it’s part of my list of homemade marinades that I use in rotation all summer long. It works just as well with pork, shrimp or strip loin, but it really shines the most on beef tenderloin.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25 The secret: maximum temperature and the 2-2-2-2 method<\/h3>\n

My cooking method is what makes the difference between a decent tenderloin and a memorable one. Barbecue at maximum temperature, lid closed, and you rotate 90 degrees every 2 minutes to get beautiful crossed grill marks and perfectly even cooking. In 8 minutes total, you get a rare to medium-rare result with a crust caramelized by the marinade. The fresh basil in the marinade is what makes all the difference. It brings a freshness that contrasts with the smokiness of the barbecue and the acidity of the balsamic. Don’t forget to reserve some fresh marinade for basting and serving.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd57 A chic dinner in 30 minutes, even on a Tuesday night<\/h3>\n

This balsamic marinated beef tenderloin on the BBQ is the kind of recipe that impresses every time without you spending your evening outside in front of the grill. Served on a bed of arugula or fris\u00e9e lettuce with a simple drizzle of olive oil and a splash of white balsamic, it’s a light and elegant dinner perfect for a romantic meal, dinner with friends or when you want to treat yourself on a Tuesday night. You can also pull out one of my creamy italian dressing<\/a> to accompany the salad. And if you want to vary the marinades, also try my 4 deluxe dry rubs for your grills<\/a> or my homemade jerk spice blend<\/a> directly on the tenderloin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
