Instructions
Dry Brine the Tenderloin
- The day before you plan to cook the tenderloin, remove it from its packaging and pat it dry. Trim any fat or silver skin that may have been left on.
- Season the beef tenderloin with salt or your favorite beef rub that has salt in it. Truss or tie off the tenderloin with cooking twice.
- Place the prepared tenderloin on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack and place the refrigerator uncovered over night.
Cooking the Tenderloin
- When you are ready to cook, remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator 30 min in advance.
- Preheat your Traeger to 425F.
- Drizzle the tenderloin with avocado oil or your favorite neutral flavored cooking oil. Season with additional spices as desired- black pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, and onion powder.
- Place the tenderloin directly on the grill grates and cook with the lid closed for 25 minutes or until it has reached an internal temperature of 127F for a medium pink all of the way through. Flip the tenderloin 2-3 times throughout the cooking process to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the tenderloin and wrap with foil as soon as it reaches the ideal desired temperature. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve with your favorite side dishes and sauces.
