Herb-Marinated Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) fillet beef tenderloin (filet mignon)
6 fresh sage leaves
1 clove garlic, cut into sixths
4 fresh thyme sprigs
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Cut a few 2-inch slits in the side of the fillet; stuff the sage leaves and garlic pieces into the slits. Wrap the thyme sprigs around the fillet. Store in refrigerator to allow the meat to absorb the flavors for 4 to 12 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate. Cut the tenderloin in half and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the fillets 4 to 6 minutes per side, until no longer pink, or to desired doneness.
