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

Pastel de Huevo

OK, so it’s a quiche. But “Mexican Quiche” just didn’t sound right. I’ve already thrown in an Italian version in this book. I don’t want to do even more to insult the Francophiles. So, we’ll just call it an egg pie. If you have a Mexican market nearby, purchase your chorizo there (unless you make your own). Substitute queso cotija or queso chihuahua for a little more depth in the flavor profile. Leftover salsa can be used for a topping on scrambled eggs or a dip with chips later in the day.

Baked Potato Quiche
