Smoked Whole Beef Tenderloin Recipe
Get ready to take your BBQ game to the next level with our Smoked Pork Tenderloin recipe, straight from the grill masters, the McLemore Boys. Armed with a Masterbuilt grill and a simple blend of spices, this easy smoked recipe turns an ordinary cut of pork into a smoky, juicy legend.
Pro Tips:
Although more expensive, we prefer “trimmed” roasts from our local grocer or butcher over “untrimmed” roasts. The thick layer of fat on an untrimmed roast prevents the formation of that beautiful crust you get from the reverse sear. (PS: You can trim a roast yourself, but do not do it to save money—you’ll easily trim off the savings, up to 3 pounds of meat.)
The lower the heat, the more evenly the roast cooks.
If you want the roast to cook at equal doneness from end to end, you must tie the tip under itself to create the same thickness as the butt end. However, if you’re serving this at a dinner with guests who prefer different degrees of doneness, cook the roast as is. The tip will be on the well-done side and the butt will be the rarest.
Whether you're a seasoned griller or just starting out, this smoked pork recipe is your guide to creating a delicious and memorable meal that showcases the best of backyard barbecue.
