Baked Tenderloin

This is such a simple, yet flavorful steak recipe. I rarely make it though, because whole tenderloins are expensive. I've also made it with other cuts of meat and individual steaks, but it is best with a whole tenderloin.

whole beef tenderloin
1/2 stick margarine
2 tsp beef bouillon granules
salt, pepper, garlic salt

Place tenderloin in pan. Melt margarine and bouillon. Pour over meat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Let stand 1 hour. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn down to 350 degrees. Put meat thermometer in thickest part of meat and bake. (For medium, about 30 minutes) Slice and serve.

Marinated Ribeyes

Sadly, last summer, the knobs of our grill melted off! We have yet to buy a replacement. In the meantime, I bought an indoor, cast iron stove top grill. We have been using it A TON! (Only thing....it is a pain to clean.)

My mom passed along this recipe. Yum!

1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c green onion
1/4 c brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp pepper
4 steaks

combine all ingredients (except steak) in a ziploc bag. Add steaks. Toss to coat. Marinade 8 hours or overnight.

Grill 8 to 10 minutes per side over medium heat.
