Whether is for a holiday dinner or special occasion, this smoked bourbon beef tenderloin is the perfect recipe! An absolute showstopper meal for guests or intimate date nights.

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 2-1/2 lb trimmed beef tenderloin roast
  • 2 Minced cloves garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons bourbon
  • 1/2 Cup Dijon mustard
  • Coarse ground black and green peppercorns
  • Kosher sea salt

Directions:

  1. Take a large piece of plastic wrap and lay the tenderloin on it.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, mustard, and bourbon. Apply it evenly over the tenderloin. Wrap in the plastic and take it to the fridge for 60 minutes.
  3. Unwrap the plastic and generously season the tenderloin with salt and pepper.
  4. Set the temperature of your smoker to 180°F (82°C) and preheat it.

  7. Remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
