From @healthyhappyrealcf: What’s better than fresh tomatoes, grilled seasonal veggies and perfectly cooked steak on a bed of cool greens? It’s completely representative of this shoulder season of summer moving into fall. It’s also an incredibly quick weekday meal since the tenderloin tips take less than 10 minutes to cook to medium rare! Best of all for everyone following Whole30 in September, it is completely compatible!

To celebrate these still-warm days, I chose to use my Blackstone to cook the tenderloin tips but feel free to make these on a grill, under the broiler or just sauté in a large cast iron skillet. If you are using any method other than the skillet, I recommend threading onto skewers simply to make turning easier.

I find that marinades keep meat from browning, so I steer clear and instead only use dry seasonings. My go-to spice blend is what I call Magic Salt with only sea salt, pepper and granulated garlic (learn how to make your own Magic Salt).

4-5 Tbsp. Magic Salt (enough to completely cover all the tenderloin tips)

Lemon Garlic Ghee

Directions

Season the tips thoroughly on all sides with the Magic Salt. Let seasoned beef sit in the fridge for about 20 minutes to make sure the spices adhere to the beef and the tenderloin tips don't cook through took quickly.
While the beef is chilling, cook your vegetables until brown.
Remove the tenderloin tips from the refrigerator and if grilling, place on skewers.
If not grilling, heat your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to cover the entire bottom of the skillet. If broiling, coat the tenderloin tips in oil rather than the pan to avoid excess fat catching fire.
Place the tenderloin tips on the grill, in the skillet or in the broiler and cook for 4-5 minutes. The chilled spice coating hitting the hot fat will provide the perfect flavor-filled crust that everyone loves in a good steak.
Flip and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until just brown (about 130°F on your instant read meat thermometer).

Lemon Garlic Ghee

Mix together all the ingredients except the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Gradually mix in the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper until you get the spice level and taste you prefer.

Recipe Note

Serve the steak tips and veggies over mixed greens and drizzle with the lemon garlic ghee.
