Ingredients

3 pounds Whole beef tenderloin, cleaned and trimmed

1 cup Wishbone Italian dressing

1/4 cup Worcestershire Sauce

2 Tbsp Steak Seasoning (page xxx)

2 dozen Small rolls, cut in half, crosswise

5-6 cups Wood chips, soaked in water

Instructions

Combine the Italian dressing and Worcestershire Sauce and rub the outside of the tenderloin. Marinate for 30-45 minutes.

Prepare the grill. Sprinkle the tenderloin with the steak seasoning. Sear the tenderloin over direct medium heat for 15 minutes. Turn it one quarter turn every 4-5 minutes during the searing process.

Move the tenderloin to cook over indirect heat and cook until desired doneness is reached., 20-30 minutes for medium rare (135 degrees). Turn the tenderloin once every 15 minutes during this stage. Remove the tenderloin from the grill and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.

Slice into thin slices. Place two-three slices on a roll and top with one or more of the following sauces.

Yield: 24 small sandwiches

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
