- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream or dairy free creamer*
- 1/4 cup sour cream (regular or dairy-free)
- 1/3 cup marsala wine
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
- kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Dry Rub:
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 teaspoons coffee grounds
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Beef Tenderloin:
- 3–4 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed
Other Items:
- kitchen twine
Instructions
- Grill: Preheat the grill to a high heat (around 550 degrees F).
- Prep: Tie beef tenderloin with kitchen twine (see video tutorial here or photo tutorial above within body of post). Let beef come to room temperature (approx. 30 minutes – 1 hour).
- Mushroom Sauce: Bring a large cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat, add 4 tablespoons butter and let melt. Add mushrooms to the hot pan, season with salt, and move around until fully cooked. Add another 4 tablespoons of butter along with garlic and shallots. Let soften. Add broth, cream, and wine along with peppercorns, fresh thyme, and lemon zest. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until it has thickened a bit, approx. 15-25 minutes or until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and add sour cream; stir to combine. Taste and add kosher salt and ground black pepper, as desired. Cover and keep warm until serving.
- Dry Rub: Put all of the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix together. Coat the outside of the tied beef tenderloin with the dry rub.
- Grill: Place the seasoned tenderloin on the hot grill to sear for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to about 400 degrees F, move tenderloin to indirect heat and let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature at the thickest part of the meat reaches 125 degrees F. for a medium-rare finish (use a meat thermometer).
- Rest: Transfer the beef tenderloin to a baking sheet or cutting board to let the meat rest 10-15 minutes.
- Serve: Use a scissors to remove the kitchen twine and cut into thick slices. Enjoy with the Creamy Mushroom Sauce on top of each slice.
Notes
- Cream: option to use regular heavy cream or use a dairy-free option, like NutPods creamer or Silk Dairy Free Heavy Whipping Cream.
- Storage: keep leftover tenderloin and cream sauce, each in a separate airtight container, in the fridge for 2-3 days.
