Description

This Grilled Beef Tenderloin is a showstopper for any summer barbecue. The lean, tender meat is seasoned generously with salt and pepper, then seared over high heat to create a beautiful crust. The star of the dish is the homemade Western BBQ sauce&# 226;ÂÂa fiery, tangy blend of white vinegar, Tabasco, ancho chile powder, and cumin. Basting the meat during the final stages of cooking infuses it with deep, smoky flavors while keeping it juicy. Ideal for date nights or family dinners, this recipe balances bold spices with the natural sweetness of the beef. Serve it sliced thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess fat from the beef tenderloin.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together white vinegar, Tabasco sauce, sugar, salt, ancho chile powder, cumin, and freshly ground pepper to make the Western BBQ sauce.
  3. Cover the beef tenderloin heavily with salt and pepper.
  4. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat.
  5. Sear the tenderloin on all sides over high heat for about 10 to 15 minutes until browned.
  6. Remove the meat from the grill and push the coals to one side to create an indirect heat zone.
  7. Place the meat over the side with no coals (indirect heat).
  8. Cover the grill, ensuring vents are open for airflow.
  9. Cook for approximately 30 minutes, basting frequently with the Western BBQ sauce.
  10. Remove from grill when internal temperature reaches 130ðF for medium-rare.
  11. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Note

The Western BBQ sauce is quite tangy and spicy due to the vinegar and Tabasco. Adjust the sugar or Tabasco to your heat preference.

For indirect grilling, ensure your grill temperature stays around 325-350ðF. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately.

Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

If using a gas grill, turn off the burners directly under the meat and use the outer burners for indirect heat.
