From above, you see beautifully charred beef tenderloin slices fanned out in a semicircle on one side of the plate, with golden and crispy Hasselback potatoes lining the other side. Drizzled atop the meat and potatoes is a vibrant green chimichurri sauce, scattered with finely chopped fresh herbs. The grill marks on the meat and potatoes add an appealing wood-fired aesthetic.

For this special Father's Day barbecue, we're going to create a unique twist on the classic Steak and Potatoes. It's a Beef Tenderloin with Grilled Hasselback Potatoes and Chimichurri Sauce. We chose beef tenderloin for its tender and juicy texture. The Hasselback potatoes will offer an impressive look and perfect crunchiness. Lastly, the chimichurri sauce is the bright, herby-tangy finish that ties together the dish.

Ingredients (for 4)

Beef tenderloin - 2 lbs - trimmed
Medium potatoes - 4 - turned into Hasselback potatoes
Fresh parsley - 1 cup - finely chopped
Fresh cilantro - 1 cup - finely chopped
Garlic cloves - 3 - minced
Red wine vinegar - 3 tbsp
Crushed red pepper flakes - 1 tsp
Extra virgin olive oil - 1/2 cup
Kosher salt - to taste
Black pepper - to taste

Preparation

Step 1 - 🌡️🥩🥔

Preheat your grill on high. Lightly oil the grill grates. Season your 2 lbs of trimmed beef tenderloin and 4 medium hasselback potatoes with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 2 - 🔥🍖🔄

Put the beef tenderloin and potatoes on the grill. Flip the beef occasionally, grilling it to your preferred doneness. This takes about 15-20 minutes for medium-rare. Also, turn the potatoes occasionally until they're crispy on the outside and cooked through.
Step 3 - 🌿🌶️🥣

While the meat and potatoes are grilling, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 cup of finely chopped fresh cilantro, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp of red wine vinegar, 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes, and half a cup of extra virgin olive oil.
Step 4 - 🥩🥔🌿

Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the grilled beef and potatoes before serving.
