Smoked Beef Tenderloin
Creamy Horseradish Sauce
Directions
Remove the beef tenderloin from the package and blot it dry with paper towels.
Trim off any excess fat or silver skin. If the tail end is very thin, cut it off. (this portion makes a great pitmaster snack!)
Lightly coat the tenderloin with 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce so the seasoning sticks.
Rub the tenderloin generously with 3 tablespoons of Camp House rub, then coat it with 2 tablespoons of Deer Meat seasoning.
Preheat your smoker or pellet grill to 275°F and use a mild wood like pecan or hickory.
Place the tenderloin in the center of the grill grate. After 30 minutes, insert a probe thermometer to monitor the internal temperature.
Smoke the tenderloin until it reaches 125–128°F for medium-rare (about 1 hour 45 minutes at 275°F).
Remove the tenderloin from the smoker and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
Slice the tenderloin on a slight bias for tender, even pieces.
Split fresh rolls or slider buns, layer in slices of beef, and top with horseradish cream sauce. Close the bun and enjoy!
TIP: Save the tail end for a tasty snack while the main tenderloin rests or cooks.
