Note

Always let your meat rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.

Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130-135ðF for medium-rare.

Ancho powder provides a mild heat and deep smoky flavor; substitute with smoked paprika if unavailable.

Ensure your grill is clean to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Trim excess silver skin from the tenderloin before seasoning for better texture.
