Make the best beef tenderloin roast, with this easy to follow method for smoking and then reverse searing for a foolproof medium rare every time.

This recipe can be made on any type of grill (charcoal or pellet). You will need to utilize both direct and indirect heat (reverse searing method).

Start with your beef tenderloin and remove from the packaging. Let it sit uncovered in your fridge a few days before cooking (it helps with the browning and the flavor).

Get a "peeled" beef tenderloin from the butcher and then butterfly the thinner ends (the tail) and tuck it under to keep the roast even in thickness.

Use butchers twine to tie down the ends of the roast and to keep an even, round thickness to it while it cooks.

Oil it lightly after adding the twine. Season with salt and cracked pepper and fresh herbs if desired.
