Stampede Beef Tenderloin-Perfect!

[Pops]

I cooked my FIRST beef tenderloin today and it was amazing!

Here is what I did after reading alot and listening to all of your input.

Started off with a full beef tenderloin, trimmed up to just leave the center of the tenderloin (saved rest for later).
Rubbed room temp tenderloin in Dijon mustard, sprinkled some kosher salt and pepper and then 3tsp each of FRESH, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage. Full disclosure, my wife did get fresh herbs and chopped them for me! It does make a difference. Layed out the herbs and rolled the tenderloin in it, seemed like it might be too much, but it was fine! Let sit at room temp for an hour.
Then put on RT for about an hour and a half at 225 until internal temp of 125, then pulled, put on sear kit and seared 4 sides for about 5 minutes each. Lastly rested for 15 minutes.

It was perfect, Not sure what I would have done different, but I am sure I will do something different next time.
Family loved the meat was succulent, tender and juicy.
Thanks to all for your input!

Now that is a meal. Great job Pops.

Nice job. Since a pellet cooker works similar to a convection oven the fresh herbs work beautifully.

I really like a beef tenderloin. I get the full packer and trim it out to either a small roast as you did or chunk it up to fillets. The trimmings at either end get used up mostly for various asian stir fry dishes or dishes like stroganoff. Great cut, and beautifully presented on your table.

Nice....I like mine on the rarer side

 

[Pops]

Yes, I did cook mine a little more rare and mine was pretty well marbled. I am just excited that I am so new and someone followed my recipe!
I did trim mine up and cooked the last last night OMG it is so good!!!!!
It is a testimony to the RT family!

If you can believe it, I picked up the one in my picture above for $1.99/lb on closeout at ALDI in February!! They were use or freeze by that day, so I bought 4 for the freezer. Grilled that one up on Easter.

Hey, I do have a question for the group, when you pick up meat at say Costco and you trim, divvy it up, what is the best way to freeze to keep it fresh?
