Beef Tenderloin on the MiniMax

Posts: 16,989
Went to costco and picked up a choice tenderloin. BIL is back in the states from Ghana, and the meat selection is not great there. They have skinny cows, little flavor, and tough to chew, and that is the top grade, I am told.So I thought tonight, I would make him a meal of the great beef we are fortunate to have in Kentucky.
I will update the thread as we progress, we are having some wine right now, so it could be a while......

Somewhat disappointed in the cut we got. I had to trim it almost like a brisket. Not the normal SOP from Costco, looks like on of their butchers, was working in the checkout lanes last week
Got it together, light marinade of low sodium Soy Sauce, and my own rub. Let sit for an hour. "Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Great cook! 2 things. What's up with how clean your firebox is compared to the dome? What's up with that cutting board? Very cool, I have not seen that before.
Thanks for posting

Making the MiniMax stand tall my friend. That pic on the cutting board looks like the meat was wonderfully tender and beautifully cooked.
You're making me study too; I looked up when and why to decant wine.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

Looks great Ron. Love the MM!

Ron, I didn't read all the posts. You welcomed me back today, thank you. A choice tenderloin? Expletive deleted brother. WTF? No fine wine makes that a fine steak. Glad it turned out my brother
