Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, combine the Bloody Mary mix, vodka, and fresh lime juice, whisking until well blended.
2
Place the beef tenderloin steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
3
After marinating, mix the softened butter and horseradish in a small bowl until combined and set aside.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot before placing the steaks on.
5
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry using paper towels. This step is important for a nice sear on the grill. Lightly spray each steak with olive oil and generously season with Lawry's Red Pepper Season Salt.
6
Place the steaks on the grill and cook to your desired doneness, typically 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on their thickness.
7
Once cooked to your preference, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
8
Serve each steak topped with a dollop of the butter-horseradish mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
