Answer 3

Marinades and Rubs are great, but both serve a purpose in adding taste and tenderness. I'm with the chef on this one, a tenderloin needs no help with either of these and should taste like a steak. Taste meat!!! Remember the taste of meat?........... before Italian dressing, garlic rub, spicy pepper this and mustard, vinegar, brown sugar,.....HOLD UP!!!!!!

Slice 2" thick steaks and cook them on a hot grill. If cooking indoors, a hot cast iron skillet with a touch of kosher salt sprinkled in the pan; and seared quickly on both sides.

With everything being so fancy, we've forgotten what meat is supposed to taste like.

Answer 4

I like to use a dry rub instead of a marinade, Kosher salt Fresh Cracked Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, brown sugar and red pepper flakes or a little cayenne pepper rub the meat make sure all is coated, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, when ready take out let come to room temp unwrap and then cook to your liking

Answer 5

You really don't even need to marinate tenderloin, because it is so tender. I rub mine with salt, cracked pepper and olive oil.

Answer 6

Extra virgin olive oil, freshly grated garlic, freshly ground black Pepper and fresh thyme leaves. Add salt at the last minute, just before you get ready to cook.

Answer 7

Maderia wine sauce

Answer 8

mixture of red wine, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, and LOTS of garlic.
