Ingredients for Tenderloin
4 6-ounce beef tenderloin
4 parts Kosher salt
1 part ground black pepper
To Prepare the Tenderloin
Sprinkle salt and pepper on tenderloins and grill to desired temperature. Grilling for 3 minutes on each side will result in a medium rare temperature.

1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme

To Prepare the Smoked Gouda and Thyme Grits
Bring 3 cups stock to a boil and whisk in grits. Reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until most of stock is absorbed and grits are tender. Add the separated ¼ cup stock to the grits, and whisk in thyme and salt until incorporated. Whisk in smoked gouda until smooth and creamy.

1 cup beef stock
¼ cup butter
Salt to taste
To Prepare Cabernet Beurre Rouge
