Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a blender and set to liquefy for 1 minute

Pour through a fine strainer into a bowl.

Using a culinary injector inject half of the liquid into the tenderloin, reserve the other half. Seal the tenderloin in aluminium foil and marinate for 3-4 hours.

Using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals on one half of the grill allowing for a hot and cool zone. Place the tenderloin on the hot side and cover, turn every two minutes until it is well seared. Move to the cool section of the grill and turn every 5 minutes. After 20 minutes place a handful of hickory chips on the coals to put a smoke flavor on the tenderloin. Continue to turn every 5 minutes and put hickory chips every 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 F. Remove to a sheet of aluminium foil with the edges turned up, pour the remaining marinade over the tenderloin and wrap for ten minutes and then serve.
