Grilled Tenderloin Steaks – the perfect dinner!
We love grilled tenderloin steaks. Recently, I have been buying O Organic grass fed steaks at Safeway. Besides the fact that they are grass fed, I love the fact that they are the perfect size for a meal. Ever notice when you go to buy a steak it could feed three people?
These steaks are obviously more expensive per pound, but typically I can buy a package of two steaks for less than $12. In addition, they are easy to pack for a weekend on the boat since they are sealed tight.
Our Magma grill on the boat does not have a large surface space. Grilling smaller steaks allows for other food items to be grilled too. We also use a lava stone from Island Grillstone. These come in 6″ x 12″ or 12″x12″ and we use the smaller one on the boat. See below.
Pair these steaks with red potatoes & spinach for a complete meal! Enjoy!
