Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium high. Brush grill grate with oil.

Purée cilantro, 3 Tbsp. oil, vinegar, and garlic in a food processor for the sauce; season with salt and pepper.

Grill tenderloin on both sides, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 135° for medium rare,
10–15 minutes; remove from heat, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice tenderloin against the grain into thin strips.

Whisk together remaining 2 Tbsp. oil, paprika, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper; toss with potatoes and grill until tender, 2–3 minutes per side.

Serve tenderloin strips on potato slices topped with sauce and queso fresco.
