Steps

• Step 1

  When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 425℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

  425 ˚F / 218 ˚C

• Step 2

  Trim the tenderloin. First, remove the chain that runs the length of the tenderloin by gently pulling it back with your hands and trimming it with a sharp knife if necessary. Continue to trim any excess fat and silverskin from the beef.

  Ingredients

  • 1  (4 lb) whole beef tenderloin, room temperature

• Step 3

  Truss the tenderloin: Tuck the thin end of the tenderloin underneath itself and tie the roast every 2 inches with kitchen twine. This will help the tenderloin hold its shape. Coat all over with the olive oil.

  Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil

• Step 4

  Make the espresso and coriander rub: In a small bowl, combine the espresso, brown sugar, coriander, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, blcak pepper, lemon zest, and chives and mix well.

  Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon ground espresso

  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 Teaspoon finely diced fresh chives

  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest

  • 1 Teaspoon minced fresh chives

• Step 5

  Rub the spice mixture all over the tenderloin, coating every nook and cranny.

• Step 6

  Place the tenderloin directly on the grill grates. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the tenderloin. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 130℉, 45-60 minutes.
