Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 whole beef tenderloin Plan two 2″ filets per person
  • 1 tablespoon Stone House Seasoning *Or just Kosher Salt and/or freshly ground pepper in place of Stone House.

Instructions

  • Place beef tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet, pat dry with paper towels and season both sides of the meat with Stone House Seasoning. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour or up to 4 days before you plan on cooking and serving.
  • Remove from the refrigerator, unwrap and allow to stand for about an hour to come to room temperature.

  • Place tenderloin onto grill or in the oven. Allow the beef tenderloin to cook until it reaches 145º F when checked with an internal meat thermometer in the thinner areas and 140º F in the thicker area, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from grill and cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow to rest on the carving board for about 15 minutes prior to carving and serving.
