Longhorn Smoked Tenderloin of Beef
Required Ingredients: 5-6 lb of Choice Whole Beef Tenderloin Longhorn Smokin' Spice 1/4 C (1 stick) butter, melted 1t fresh lime juice 2T pressed garlic
Sprinkle both sides of the tenderloin heavily with the Smokin' Spice. Place the seasoned meat on an aluminum foil "boat", which helps maintain a juicy flavor. (If you wish a grilled effect, omit the foil boat and lay the meat directly on the grill rack.) Cook at a pit temperature of 225° F. The longer and slower you cook the meat, the better the flavor. After 1 hour, begin to check the temperature with a meat thermometer every 15 to 20 minutes. Overcooking can occur quickly, so be careful. When checking the meat, baste with a mixture of the butter, lime juice, and garlic. For medium-rare meat (internal temperature of 140° F), cooking time will be approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. Serves 8 to 10.
