Traeger Grill Beef Tenderloin Recipe

Traeger Smoked Beef Tenderloin goes on the grill as a long, sort of terrifying raw hunk of meat, and in less than an hour turns into something really incredible. This cut of steak is so tender and so full of rich beefy flavor, you’re going to keep this one on deck anytime you want to feel a little fancy, but also have a simple dinner on the table.

I know. You guys, I totally get it. I freaked out for like a solid hour the first time I cooked a prime rib. I don’t like experimenting with expensive cuts of meat. But don’t be nervous! Use some cool tools and tricks and you’ll have a perfectly cooked piece of steak that might just be the best thing you eat this fall and this whole holiday season.

The beef tenderloin comes from the same muscle that the filet mignon comes from, it just isn’t cut into individual steaks. This particular cut of beef gets very little movement, so it stays super tender on the animal. It is one of my favorite cuts of beef, and if you can find a sale on it BUY BUY BUY.

I picked up this big beauty at my local tiny grocery store, and got it for a song at $7.99 a pound. If you find it that low, buy all they have because that’s a great deal!

There are a lot of great ways to cook beef tenderloin. You can roast it in the over, you can cook it in a pan on the stovetop, you can grill it, or you can cook it my favorite way, and that is to smoke it!

One thing I would suggest is to cut the beef tenderloin into large segments, according to how thick it is. You’ll want to pull those off of your grill at different times, and if you have separate temperature probes that’ll monitor the doneness, you’ll want to make sure that they have their own.

Speaking of temperature probes, we ran our grill for well over a year without any kind of fancy thermometers, and then I finally broke out the ThermoPro that wirelessly tells me what temp my meat is at, and I’m now firmly on the GET ONE train. My next upgrade will be one that hooks up to my iPhone, somehow, and will yell at me when I forget I have something on the grill.

Some of our most heavily utilized rubs and spices in the kitchen. Get some! Highly recommend the Midnight Toker and Roasted Garlic Blend!

Grilled Pork Tenderloin

This is such an easy meal to match sides with! My first suggestion for steak is always my Perfect Grilled Asparagus. It is fast and easy, and everyone raves about it. A freshly tossed Greek Salad would also we great!

You’ll already have the grill fired up, so once you pull your beef, just crank up the heat again for a few minutes and throw these on the grill while your tenderloin rests.

Personally, I prefer this smoked tenderloin to even the best prime rib, but both of them are a great option for a family gathering or a special holiday meal.

I liked the short essay not to many ingredients or steps thank you getting ready to go try this now I'll bbs to let you know how it turned out

Yeah if you want a tenderloin well done lol. Also as a general rule you only let it sit for 5 minutes before cutting into. 15 minutes is ridiculous. Your steaks must be 5 inches thick or something crazy.

Traeger Smoked Tri Tip

Nope! But that's the good thing about recipes. They are just guides. You get to make all the choices yourself, and decide how long to rest your roast. I hope your day got better, though! It must not have been going very well if this is the general tone you use to speak to strangers on the internet. :/

I hate recipes that just go on and on about stupid crap when I just want to look at how to cook something.

@Nicole Johnson, your attitude is every bit as snotty as the people leaving comments. Ignore them or you’re no better. Every time you take the bait you diminish yourself.

I dislike people who come to a website and complain about free content when there’s a Jump to Recipe button at the very top.

Also - I’m sure there are examples on this site where posts have some “stupid crap” before the recipe, but this isn’t one of them.

Hard to say! It shouldn't increase the overall time much at all, in theory, but as with any roast - I'd make sure to temp them regularly and always cook according to the temperature and not the clock.
