Ingredients
2 tenderloin steaks, 1 1/2 inches thick
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil or vegetable oil

Equipment You'll Need
Grill
Tongs or Spatula

Directions
Preheat grill to high heat. Wipe the grill surface with olive oil or vegetable oil using either a basting brush or a lightly moistened paper towel. Be aware of the amount of oil on your brush or towel - use only a small amount to prevent flare-ups when your hands are over the grill. Oiling the grill will help prevent the beef from sticking.

Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Place steaks on the hot grill. Grill the first side for 5 minutes. Do not turn until 5 minutes are up. After 5 minutes, turn steaks. For medium rare steaks, grill for another 5 to 7 minutes. For well done steaks, grill for another 7 - 9 minutes.
