  • 3 tablespoons steak rub of your choice (or make your rub using the recipe here!

Instruction:

  1. Preheat your pellet grill to HIGH, following factory instructions.
  2. Trim excess fat from the tenderloin, and cut into evenly sized pieces if your tenderloin tapers significantly. Two or three are usually enough to ensure even cooking. If your tenderloin is equal thickness throughout you can skip this part.
  3. Coat the tenderloin in steak rub and salt and place into the preheated grill.
  4. Close the lid and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the tenderloin, and close the lid for another 10 minutes.
  5. Turn the temperature down to smoke, and leave the grill lid open for 2-3 minutes to drop the temperature of the grill down to about 200-225 degrees. Close the lid, and smoke until the internal temperature is at 130°.
  6. Pull from the grill and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
