Creative Ways to Serve Up Beef Tenderloin With Balsamic Glaze

Sure, you can eat beef tenderloin with balsamic glaze as-is, like our recipe suggests. Or you can use it as the basis for other meals and dishes. Consider some of the following ways to serve up your beef tenderloin:

• Mouth-watering salads: Place slices of juicy beef tenderloin on top of an all-out salad filled with everything from fruits and veggies to croutons and real bacon crumbles. Top with some blue cheese and a vinaigrette dressing, and you have yourself a hearty yet lighter lunch or dinner.
• The best burritos: Cut beef tenderloin into bite-sized pieces and place in large flour tortillas. Add your favorite veggies such as baby kale, carrot shreds, red pepper strips and a bit of sharp cheddar cheese. Wrap the burritos tightly in foil and place them in a preheated Grilla Grill or oven to melt the cheese and bring out the meaty juices.
• Homemade chili: Cube beef tenderloin and add to the mix. The unexpected balsamic flavor of the meat will change the overall tone of the chili. Who knows? You might just win an award at a cook-off.
• A mouthful of a steak sandwich: Choose slices of freshly prepared beef tenderloin instead of other meats. Top with loads of veggies and smother in a mayo-based condiment.

If you’re not in the mood to make a balsamic reduction sauce for your beef tenderloin, we’ve got you. You have other choices. First, you could easily just serve your steak as-is. It will be delicious and tender, so no problem there.

Want to create something a little different? Try a dash of soy sauce and serve the finished meat as part of an Asian-inspired meal. Let butter melt over the steak while it is resting to help it stay moist and provide a boost of richness.

Other substitutes for balsamic reductions include cheese-based sauces, gravies and even salsa. Remember that your meat is the basic element of this dish. The sauce simply brings out undertones.
