So my wife's grandmother requested that I do the grilling at their house this morning. Of course it will be on a gasser, and I am sure from the past that she will have a whole beef tenderloin cut up marinating in Dale's sauce. Everyone there likes their steak completely ruined with Kraft BBQ sauce on it (I just threw up a little from typing that). Your prayers would be appreciated.

    Why don't you do a reverse sear--start out low until 115 internal temp, then pull off, crank gasser up and then sear good.  At least it will be perfectly cooked.  And, you can put some wood chips in a foil pouch and add some smoke during low temp part of cook.

    I was going to try a reverse sear, but I do have a few Jack Daniels barrel chips left. I may do the pouch thing.

    Good ole Dale's Sauce.  If there has ever been anything that is over used, that is it.  Dale's Restaurant in Florence doesn't even marinade their steaks in it like a lot of people around here do.  They just splash a little of the sauce on the steak.  Marinading it for very long at all makes for one very salty steak.  You can smell someone cooking with it for miles.

    FIL... Marinade till it's like a salt block. Cook until the sirloin is tough as shoe leather..

    Our thoughts are with you! Good luck with an almost impossible task. Have you considered reporting this offence to the FDA? Surely this treatment of a beef tenderloin constitutes criminal misuse of a food product.

    I am asked to grill a lot when at family gatherings and such. Although I love eggs, my first love was weber kettles. I have one at nearly every place I am asked to cook at. If I don't have one, I pick one up on CL and bring it there. It's not an egg, but its charcoal and the performance is not that far from it for grilling. Good luck whatever you decide.

    Bring your own steak and cook to the perfect medium rare (as well as you can on a gasser) and let them see what a real steak should look like, offer them a bite, you might convert these crazy people. Good Luck Roll Tide Roll

    Well the results turned out ok, considering the battle I was up against. I dried them off, added S&P and threw them on the gasser holding around 325-375 (that's as low as it would go), pulled 2 off at 120, and let the rest go to 135ish. Then got the thing up to nuclear temps (i need longer tongs; knuckles are bald not) and seared all on both sides. Mine and my brother-in-law's were tender and edible. The others looked to be fairly tender but kinda dry.

    Oh well, what can you do?
