Success with Beef Tenderloin

Stewsan · January 14

First try cooking a beef tenderloin on the Green Egg was a success. Had a very lean 2 lb. tenderloin. The only seasoning used was salt and pepper applied one hour before cooking. Heated the egg up to 650, placed the tenderloin on the grate for 3 min. Turned the tenderloin and cooked at 650 for 3 min. Turned again and closed all the vents and monitored the internal temp. Removed at 120 deg. and wrapped in foil for 15 minutes before slicing. A comment from one of the diners was "Damn Good".

Tenderloin looks great, think I will have to put one on for the Superbowl game.

Wow, I'd never try tenderloin at 650, but that looks pretty good!

2lbs? I've never heard of a beef tenderloin that small.

Nice dude. You've got some cajones to do that. I bow to you, good sir.

Looks outstanding. Beef T does great on the egg. I have had the most success with it. I do mine indirect at 350 until the IT is 120. I take it off, take out the platesetter, ramp up the egg to 700 and sear for 4 min a side. Been great.

I want to clarify, you remove the Beef T while ramping heat up to 700?

I'm in. Looks pretty darn good to me. Nice work there.

Excellent, I did one for Thanksgiving. I am trying your way next time. I just did 350 indirect and seared it at the end. This way looks easier with great results.

Yes, then put back on for about 3-4 min a side.
