Main Course

This grilled beef tenderloin is seared to perfection, seasoned with Big Poppa’s Cash Cow & Money, and finished with a balsamic glaze for the perfect balance of rich, smoky, and tangy flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole beef tenderloin (trimmed)

  • 1 tbsp Roland Original Glaze with Balsamic Vinegar

  • 1 tbsp Big Poppa’s Cash Cow Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp Big Poppa’s Money Seasoning

  • Butcher’s twine (if needed for tying thinner portions)

Directions

  1. Remove any silver skin or excess fat from the tenderloin.

  2. If certain areas are thinner, fold them over and tie with butcher’s twine for even cooking.

  3. Light up your gas grill and set it to medium-high heat.

  4. Place the beef tenderloin directly on the grill.

  5. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to get cross-hatch marks and a golden crust.

  6. Remove from direct heat and rub the Roland Original Balsamic Glaze all over the tenderloin.

  7. Generously season all sides with Big Poppa’s Cash Cow & Money Seasonings.

  8. Move the tenderloin to the top rack of the grill or a cooler indirect heat zone.

  9. Insert a meat probe and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.

  10. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes to lock in the juices.

  11. Slice into steakhouse-style medallions and serve with your favorite sides.

  12. Enjoy the Ultimate Steak Experience!
