smoking tenderloin

[spicewine]

IMO---This is my favorite cut of meat and I eat it as often as I can afford it. It has great flavor already-----Salt and pepper and a good all around sear and cook to med rare is all you need. Damn ---Now I'm going to have to take the OL out to dinner tonight-----Thanks alot!

Tenderloin needs a short marinade. The meat is of a quality that you dont need to or should want to change the flavor too much. More importantly, its such a tender cut, that an overnight marinade would turn it to mush. Marinade no more than 4 hours. I think 2 hours is wayyyy plenty.

Tenderloin also makes the best steak tar-tar. Grind it up add some garlic, parsely, salt & pepper a little olive oil and a splash of wine vinegar. Mix it all up, cover in plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours. Take it out and chow down. No need to cook it. Delicious. As a kid growing up this was a regular staple comfort food in my household however mom used sirloin because tenderloin cost too much. Also, we never called it Steak Tar-Tar. To us, it was just raw meat and we loved it. Still do. Be sure to grind your own.
