Beef Tenderloin Sandwiches

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

Sauces:

Honey Spiked Dijon Mustard

Horseradish Cream Cheese Spread

Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise

 

 

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
