Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Caramelized Onions and a Twist of Vinegar
What Started it all:
Beef Tenderloin, Onion, vinegar (apple cider, balsamic), grill
A deliciously easy recipe for a special occasion or a quick weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 (1.5-2 pound) beef tenderloin
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat that grill! Get your grill heated to medium-high heat. I like to use a gas grill, but charcoal works too, honey!
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes or until they're dark golden brown and caramelized.
- While the onions are cooking, season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Don't be shy, now! You want that flavor to pop!
- Grill the beef tenderloin for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar. Brush the mixture over the grilled beef tenderloin during the last minute of cooking.
- Slice the beef against the grain and serve with those gorgeous caramelized onions. Garnish with chopped parsley, if you're feeling fancy.
