Ingredients
1 whole beef tenderloin (about 45 pounds)
1/4 cup Claibe's SPG All Purpose Rub
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Coarse sea salt (optional)
Preparation:
Trim the beef tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin.
Rub the tenderloin with olive oil, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Generously apply Claibe's SPG All Purpose Rub all over the tenderloin.
For added flavor, sprinkle fresh rosemary sprigs, freshly ground black pepper, and coarse sea salt on the tenderloin.
Allow rub to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes.
The Cook:
Set up your offset smoker or pellet grill for indirect cooking and preheat to 225°F (107°C).
Smoke to an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium rare. This usually takes about 1-1/2 - 2 hours.
Searing (Optional but Recommended):
Once the tenderloin reaches the desired internal temperature, increase the smoker or grill temperature to high (around 450°F/232°C). Sear the tenderloin on all sides for a couple of minutes until you achieve a nice appearance. A cast Iron skillet or griddle plate works well to minimize grill marks.
Rest the Meat:
Remove the tenderloin from the smoker and let it rest for at least 15-30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the beef tenderloin into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick slices.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
Pair with a full bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
