When it comes to steak, depending on the different cuts- you need to be able to properly prepare it for the grill. I prepared a beef tenderloin steak, this is a tricky one. This type of steak is very tender- hence the name- you need to properly season it for preparation, marinate it and cook it thoroughly. You can’t serve it too raw, but you also can’t over-cook it.

• Fire up your BBQ or your charcoal grill on high heat, do this for 10 minutes to ensure your grill is clean and hot for the steaks

• bring each steak to the grill and don’t flip for 6.5-7 minutes each side , do NOT cover your BBQ or grill.
• Allow each side of the steak to thoroughly grill before flipping the grill.
