grilled goodness for DAD

Father’s Day is this weekend! That’s so crazy. I can’t believe it is already the middle of June and time to celebrate the men in our lives.

Celebrating DAD

In our home, Father’s Day has always included a home cooked meal, whatever my dad wants, and then typically we watch golf. The US Open Golf Tournament is usually on so we have to watch, & that is a must watch.

Over time we have had everything from BBQ sandwich’s to pasta, but this year we are going to take things up a notch and light up the grill. Now I know what your thinking…the grill is Dad’s domain, but trust me I know you can handle it (or you get your brother to do it, like I did)

What are we grilling?

What do you think of when you think about grilling? Burgers? Steaks? Hot dogs? Pork? Ribs? Fajitas?

All of those sound AMAZING, and I am sure Dad would love any of those options, but how about we take it to another level? Lets grill a whole beef tenderloin! Now I know what your thinking…how am I going to grill a whole tenderloin? Oh wait…just wait…it is so, so easy!!

Is it really that easy?

The short answer is yes…it really is that easy. You rub the tenderloin down with tons of yummy and then place it in the oven for a bit and then throw it on the grill to let a crust form and give the meat a perfect hint of smoke that every DAD loves. He might even love it more since he isn’t the one having to cook it.

Better than a steak house…

The first time my brother made this tenderloin we all agreed that this was one of the best grilled pieces of meat we had EVER had. You have to understand this is a very big statement for my family to make. We grew up raising cows and eating a lot of steaks at home and in steak houses. SO when we all agreed that this was some of the best ever, it is something to try for sure.

A quick tip

If you don’t have access to a grill or don’t want to mess with it, don’t worry about it. You can cook it the whole time in the oven, just baste it with the melted butter when it is almost done and ENJOY!
