Someone gave me this beautiful piece of beef a while back. I thawed it out Sunday, but read mixed reviews on smoking it. I think its a tenderloin. I'm not sure what to do with it. I've got a big bbq on Saturday, burgers and brats on the menu.

I was thinking to grind it, but it's been a super busy week and may be too lean. Mainly I don't really have the time to process it.

I could smoke and slice, finish with a sear on the Blackstone.

I could dice some of it and make kabobs.

Freeze it again.

Give it to a friend's family.

What would you guys do?

  1. I guess it depends how many people.

    I’d probably smoke or sous vide ahead of time to temp (Probably like 125f rare), and then refrigerate, slice and finish/reheat/sear on the grill at serving time.

  2. Could wrap in a few pounds of bacon to protect it in the smoker.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT GRIND IT

    It would make great steaks, kebabs, or even can be smoked whole as a roast(once trimmed)….but grinding would be a waste & it would be so lean it wouldnt even be all that good(&burgers wouldnt hold together too well due to lack of fat as a binder)
