Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Berry Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Rub the beef tenderloin with olive oil, and generously season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the tenderloin on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. While the beef is resting, prepare the berry sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, raspberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.
5. Cook the berry mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Slice the rested beef tenderloin into medallions.
8. Plate the beef, drizzling the berry sauce generously over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your grill is properly preheated for a good sear.
• Let the beef rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
• Use fresh berries for the best flavor, but frozen can work in a pinch.
• Taste the sauce before serving and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the berries for your favorite fruit, like strawberries or blackberries.
• Add a splash of red wine to the berry sauce for a deeper flavor.
• For a spicier kick, incorporate a pinch of chili flakes into the sauce.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower.
• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Roasted seasonal vegetables, like asparagus or Brussels sprouts.
• Crusty artisan bread to soak up the berry sauce.
