My father is an excellent griller and lover of all things BBQ-ed so I thought I’d share his most recent culinary endeavors on his Big Green Egg. As many of you know, a Big Green Egg is a ceramic grill/smoker that cooks at high heat to sear the meats and keep them moist and flavorful. Here is Dad’s, aka Tropical Storm Eddie’s, Mesquite Smoked Beef Tenderloin.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pre-soaked mesquite wood chips for 30 minutes.
- Rub 2 tablespoons Stubb's BBQ rub (or your own) on both sides of the meat.
- Let the beef tenderloin sit out for around 30 minutes to get up to room temperature.
- Preheat the Green Egg to 275 degrees.
- Put the mesquite wood chips on the charcoal.
- Put the meat on the grill.
- Cook at 250 to to 275 degrees until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees ( Medium- Allow about 20 to 25 minutes per pound of meat.
- Do not over cook because meat still continues to cook after you take it off the grill.)
- Let the meat rest about 10 minutes before you slice in 1/4 to 3/8" size pieces and serve with your favorite sides.
That’s my Dad! 🙂

looks incredibly fascinating for me.
If you like your steak rare, try cooking it to about 125F rather than 160F.
