Beef Tenderloin

This is an amazing dish that makes you look like a champ. But you're going to spend some money to do it. If you like the flavor and texture of filet mignon, then you'll love a beef tenderloin. This makes for a great dinner party dish, as it's easier to get every piece of meat at the right temperature than it would be if you were grilling 10 different steaks. To me, a filet steak does not need a sauce, but a beef tenderloin does - chimichurri, horseradish, peppercorn, or something else you love.

 6 Trimmed Beef Tenderloin (Costco has great prices. The Choice (rather than prime) is excellent)
 1 cup Soy Sauce
 10 Cloves crushed garlic
 4 tbsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
Preparation
1

Tie up Roast with Twine. It should be fine, but tying it ensures it will be a beautiful presentation.

2

Make Marinade with remaining ingredients. Place meat and marinade in a Turkey Bag and marinate for at least six hours.

Cooking
3

Preheat to 400 degrees. I use a Big Green Egg Smoker with indirect heat at the same temperature. An oven works well too. You don't need many wood chips here for the egg. I love pecan wood for this recipe.

4

Sear the meat on high heat on a grill or griddle large enough for the roast. Five minutes on each side.

5

Place in the Big Green Egg or in the oven. Insert meat thermometer. Close and take out when the internal temperature reaches 130 (medium rare). It should take around 45-50 minutes.

6

Let sit for at least ten minutes, and up to twenty, then slice and serve.
