Cooking (2) Beef Tenderloins?

Unknown

I am having 16 over for dinner Saturday night. Any thoughts on
cooking (2) beef tenderloins at the same time on the large
BGE?? Have cooked tenderloins before and they always turn out
great.

GreenEggDawg,[p]Just a thought....with that many folks, it is almost certain that not everyone will like a rare cut. One choice would be to cook one to rare and one medium rare. The other option is to cook both to rare & ramp up the Egg while they rest. Then if anyone prefers a more well done slice, toss it on for a minute or so. (I like the personal touch in option 2, and it's a good eggcuse to show off a little also).[p]Happy Trails[p]~thirdeye~

GreenEggDawg, You are talking whole tenderloins? I always do them for Christmas dinner. I trim good and tie up with butchers twine to keep a round shape for presentation. Rub with olive oil . Just salt and pepper for seasoning. Cook direct at 350 dome turning to brown evenly til desired doneness. I have to cook two. One rare and one more done for for those that can't stand the sight of any pinkness. Good luck

ccrider,[p]For those that can't stand any pinkness, might I suggest some bubba burgers next time.[p]LOL

Dos Huevos, I have some , like a freind of mine said about his wife, that don't think that it is done unless dust flies out of their mouths when they chew.

ccrider,[p]Two things: [p]1) it's still the best tasting dust they've ever had.[p]B) maybe you should invite them for fajita night instead of Two Beef Tenderloin night...[p]My wife used to be that way, but since we got the egg, I've SLOWLY gotten her to med/med rare. It's been tough, but I think she is starting to understand...

Dos Huevos, They are my family so I provide the expensive dust.
