Tap another part of the cow to jump to it

On the grill

Almost no intramuscular fat, so it is unforgiving. Sear every side hard and fast, then move to the indirect side and watch the thermometer rather than the clock.

Tie a whole tenderloin into an even cylinder first, otherwise the tapered end is grey before the middle is warm.

Seasoning

In the grill

280 °C+direct

As hot as the grill will go. Minutes a side, and never walk away.

Smoke it with oak, hickory or mesquite.
