Grilled Beef Tenderloin Steak with Roasted Garlic Sauce. I’m using 3 little pieces of filet mignon or the tips of the tenderloin. The filet mignon weighed each about 125 grams and cost me totally about 25 USD.  Pretty pricey, but i guess it’s worthed since filet mignon is considered as the most tender cuts of beef. I used to pan seared my steak before, but i guess i’m gonna grilled my tenderloin today to infused the smokey flavour into the flesh even more. I serving my filet mignon with roasted garlic sauce, don’t get me wrong, roasted garlic got much more milder garlicky flavour than sauteed or deep fried garlic.

Making oven roasted garlic recipe is so easy to do. Simply cut the tips end of the garlic bulp to made it a lot easier to extract after roasted, toss the garlic with olive oil and season it with salt and black pepper evenly, then lay them with the bottom side down in the oven tray. Use a big enough baking tray, so the garlic are not too crowded. You want room between them for the moisture to escape, which concentrates the garlic flavor. Bake for 30-45 minutes (depending of the garlic bulb size) in 482ºF (250ºC), or until the garlic are completely softened and wilted, and start to wrinkle and some of the them charred. The garlic bulb may take longer to roast, depending on the size and the ammount of your garlic. The oven roasted garlic will keep for about three days in the refrigerator and about 6 days if you packed it with oil, i also can be frozen for up to six months.
