Instructions

Trim any fat or silver skin from the beef tenderloin.
Tuck the tail of the tenderloin under to make a uniform piece of meat. Wrap and tie every 2 inches with butcher twine.
Mix seasonings together and sprinkle evenly across the surface of the tenderloin.
Preheat the smoker to 225°F.
Place tenderloin onto grates, close lid, and smoke until you have an internal temperature of 120°F. Remove from smoker.
Transfer the beef tenderloin to a 450°F preheated grill. Char on all sides for 3-4 minutes, watch the internal temperature, do not allow it to exceed 139°F.
Remove from the grill and wrap in aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
Slice in 1 to 1 ½ inch thick servings.
