Grilled Beef Tenderloin and Warm Bean Salad
4 servings
25 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 medium red onion
  • 4 beef tenderloin steaks (about 1 ½ lb)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can cannellini beans
  • ¼ cup lemon (or light balsamic) vinaigrette
  • 4 cups spring mix

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Slice onion; coat onions and steaks with oil and seasoning (wash hands).
    2. Grill steaks 2–3 minutes on each side until 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer to cutting board and let stand 5–10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
    3. Grill onions, turning occasionally, until tender. Chop onions; drain and rinse beans. Combine onions, beans, and vinaigrette; arrange on top of greens. Slice steaks and serve on top of bean salad.
    NOTE: The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.

Other Preparation Methods
    • Roast: Preheat oven to 400°F. Season 1 (1 ½ lb) beef tenderloin with 1 teaspoon each kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Preheat large cast-iron skillet on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in skillet and add tenderloin. Cook 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Place skillet in oven; roast 5–6 minutes until beef is 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer to cutting board and let stand 5–10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
