Place beef on a tray and let meat come to room temperature. this will help the beef cook evenly.Brush the beef with oil and sprinkle with salt.Place the tenderloin on the hot side of the grill. Cook (with barbeque lid open) for approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until nice char marks are achieved.Once char marks are achieved, move the beef over to the indirect (heat turned off) side of the barbeque.Close the barbeque lid and continue to cook for 20-25 minutes or until desired doneness.

2. to determine if meat is ready, insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin, for medium rare, the temperature should read 125F (51C).Remove beef from grill and tent with foil. Let meat rest for 15-20 minutes before carving and serving.Slice the beef and serve with the cherry sauce.
