    Car Wash Mike, Man they look good! Makes me hungry, thats what we had Saturday night. I buy a whole loin from my butcher, then he cuts them for me. I marinated the ones I did Saturday and then forgot to put the seasoning on before I Egged them, must have been the beer! Enjoy![p]Hugh, "Sitting on The Dock of The Woods" Drueling! You know what I mean.

    Dock of The Woods, Speaking of the whole loin. A friend of mine and myself have been working on a great recipe for the whole beef tenderloin. Basically, we cook the loin to rare, cut a pocket in the middle and fill the pocket up with a whiskey, butter, garlic mixture. Cut portabella mushrooms in 1/4 inch strips and lay on top of the open pocket. Cook to medium rare, let sit for 10 minutes, while the grilled shrimp is cooking then serve.
    Everything is great.

    Car Wash Mike, You have done it now! Boy you flung a craving on me! When you refine that recipe put me on the list, I want a copy. Problem is you can't experiment to often with $60 whole beef tenderloins. Like I said put me on that list! Sounds really good![p]Hugh, "Sitting on The Dock of The Woods" with a big craving!

    Car Wash Mike, did you do 2 minutes on each side @ 700, followed by 20 minutes rest, followed by 4 minutes of dwelling on each side @ 400? Or did you use a different technique? Thx.

    Bill-the-Grill,
    It was closer to 2 1/2 - 3 miuntes on each side (when you are cooking at high of a temp, time seems to slip by) and dwell for about 5-7 minutes. The temp got to over 700. I move my steak to side of the grill when dwelling and leave my wifes over the hot lump. The reason for the diffence is my wife likes hers done and I like mine medium rare.
    Thickness is an issue, these were about 1 1/4 inch.

    Dock of The Woods,
    That is expensive. We are carefull when we eggsperiment. We did buy 6 whole beef tenderloins at $3.99 lb. I don't want to waste money but that was cheap. Average weight of loins was 6lbs.[p]CWM

    Car Wash Mike,[p]Wow! That IS cheap! Last beef tenderloin I got was $9.99/lb, so was closer to the price Dock of the Woods mentioned. I too would be interested in your recipe.[p]QBabe
