Coffee-Crusted Pork Tenderloins With Redeye BBQ Sauce

QBabe

Got a really good deal on pork tenderloins at my local Sam's Club a few weeks ago. Bought a bunch and threw them in the freezer. Consequently, I've been playing around with different recipes for them and found one in Steven Raichlen's new cookbook "BBQ USA" (pg 266). This one is DEFINATELY a keeper! [p]Did the tenderloins direct on a raised grid at a dome temp of 300° - 325° for about 30-40 minutes and pulled at 148° internal. Let them sit for about 10 minutes and served with red beans and rice and a nice tossed salad. Turned out beautifully! The Redeye BBQ Sauce was particularly good. Very richly flavored and creamy. [p]Sorry, but I don't have any pics of this one. It got devoured before I could even get the camera focused! There was even snarling....![p]If you don't have the cookbook, just shout back and when I get home tonight, I'll post the recipe for you.....[p]QBabe

QBabe,
Do you know how long to cook/smoke a 5#beef tenderloin under normal conditions. I just purchased a BGE? Thanks Jim Kemp
