There's a small local butcher that sells fantastic prime grade tenderloin not too far from us, and at $12.99 per lb, it's the deal of the century. Usually I buy 4-5 lbs, and freeze some of it.
This piece was the center cut, sometimes known as Chateaubriand:
I generously seasoned the meat with Oakridge Carne Crosta, seasoned pepper, and a bit of Lawry's to create a nice crust:
My small BGE hasn't been getting much use of late, so I decided to pull it out for this particular cook:
Started some lump in the chimney:
Then added the hot lump with just a bit more unlit for good measure:
I added a few small chunks of cherry wood, and put the meat on indirect(as possible as indirect as you can get on a small BGE):
Chugging away:
When the internal temp reached about 120, I moved it to the hot side of the egg:
I pulled the meat when it was 135 and brought it inside to rest:
Then sliced it up:
Closer:
It was so tender and juicy, it practically melted in our mouths! We served the meat with The Missus' green peppercorn gravy, baked potatoes, & Caesar salad with homemade dressing & croutons.
No plated pics, I was just too hungry!
