Grilled Soy Pepper Beef Tenderloin is the perfect centerpiece of your holiday meal. Grilling meat for your Christmas dinner means more room in the oven for your favorite side dishes!

I’ve always found that the biggest challenge of holiday cooking is managing what goes in the oven, at what temperature, and when. With only one oven, it’s always a struggle.

Which is why I’m always on the lookout for fabulous holiday recipes that I can cook anywhere else besides the oven. Living in the South, I like to use my grill for holiday events; we actually grilled our Thanksgiving turkey this year. And no matter what the weather brings us, we also plan to employ our grill for Christmas dinner as well.

This Grilled Soy Pepper Beef Tenderloin is 100% worthy of being the star of your holiday table. With a Kikkoman® Soy Sauce-based marinade and a generous dose of pepper, the marinade is great with most meats, but we prefer using beef tenderloin for this recipe. Especially for cold-weather grilling as it cooks up quite quickly.

Grilled Soy Pepper Beef Tenderloin

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and pepper. Place the tenderloin tips into a large resealable bag, then pour in the sauce. Allow to marinade in the refrigerator at least two hours.

Before grilling, allow the meat to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat your grill on high. Spray generously with grill cooking spray. Remove the tenderloins from the bag with tongs and place on the grill. Cover and cook on each side, approximately 5-7 minutes per side – depending on thickness of the steak and your desired level of doneness. (I prefer my steak medium rare.)

Once cooked to your preferred internal temperature, remove from the grill and allow it to rest at least ten minutes prior to slicing. Serve with Brown Butter Green Beans and Creamy Four Cheese Macaroni.
