Beef Tenderloin Marinade / Directions

ugagrillerVII

Last year I did a Beef Tenderloin based on a recipe fromt the forum (had a picture in it). I seared both sides for about 90 seconds, wrapped it in foil... brought the temp down and cooked for 10 minutes each side (or something like that)... anyway, I can't seem to find it. Any help? I know the marinade had whisky in it as well?

Beef, Tenderloin, Drunk and Dirty, Amini1

This is from Smoke & Spice, one of the best cookbooks around...


INGREDIENTS:
Marinade:
1 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Bourbon or other sour mash whiskey
1/4 cup Worcestershire
2 Tbs Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
4 Clove Garlic
Main Course:
2 lb Beef Tenderloin or other cut
2 Tbs Coursely Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Ground White Pepper
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
Smoking wood - Oak, Pecan, Hickory - careful not to overdo it




Procedure:
1 Combine ingredients down to the garlic with 1/2 cup water and marinate beef for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
2 Remove beef from fridge, reserve marinade and cover beef with ground peppers. I don't measure, I just be sure to completely cover both sides with black and then crack the white not quite as liberally.
3 Put half the marinade in fridge and add the vegetable oil to the other half if mopping. If not mopping just put all the marinade in fridge.
4 Heat mop(if using) to a boil for a few minutes and keep warm on low.
5 Put beef on smoker indirect at low temps...225 to 275 and cook until almost done...1 1/2 to 2 hours for a tenderloin, 45 minutes or so for a flank...in between for other cuts. Mop every 20 minutes for larger cuts; for flanks mop once.
6 When almost done remove from grill and bring grill up to sear temps. Put steak back on when grill is 500 degrees or so for about 1 minute per side. You're just trying to get a nice char but not too much.
7 Remove steak and let sit at least 5 minutes but closer to 10 is fine. While resting bring reserved marinade to a boil for a few minutes then lower to low and reduce by about one quarter.
8 Slice and either drizzle marinade over or serve on side for guests to drizzle themselves.
