We will be having our first supper club meeting later this summer. We wanted to make this recipe but with pork instead of beef and we wanted to make it on the grill.

Can it be done? What would the cooking instructions be for the grill?



Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish-and-Roasted Garlic Crust

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 12
Categories : Main Dish

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 whole garlic head
Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
1/3 cup prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 pounds beef tenderloin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove white papery skin from garlic head (do not peel or separate the cloves). Coat with cooking spray; wrap in foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour; cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Discard skins. Mash garlic pulp, horseradish, salt, basil, thyme, and pepper with a fork until blended.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Trim fat from tenderloin; fold under 3 inches of small end. Rub garlic mixture over roast. Place tenderloin on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Insert meat thermometer into thickest portion of tenderloin. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until thermometer registers 145 degrees (medium-rare) to 160 degrees (medium).

Place tenderloin on a platter. Cover and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Description:
"This flavorful entree is elegant enough for a dinner party or holiday meal. Try serving the robust dish with a side of mashed potatoes."

I think you could grill this. I would mix up the rub and let it sit on the pork for a few hours before grilling...unless you're on a special salt diet, I think you might want a little more than 1/4 teaspoon.

I would brown in a skillet first (about 6 minutes on all sides) then place on the grill away from direct flame, covered for about 30 minutes. In fact I'm going to print this out and try this week because it sounds so good!!! :D Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Daniele,
Just wanted to let you know that I made this tonight with the pork tenderloin and it was very very good!! Even DH and the 2 DSs raved about it! I did cook it on the gas grill without browning first. It did take quite a while to cook even though the thermometer said 400º on the grill. Next time I will brown on the stovetop first to help speed up the time. Thanks for sharing!!

Sneezles, I'm so glad it worked out. How long did it end up taking to cook? I was hoping to not have to brown it first, mostly because the stovetop will be occupied with other things (and to save on washing dishes).

It took closer to 60 minutes but that could be because I didn't have it sit out for the 20 minutes to bring it to room temp. And the leftovers make ecellent pork sandwiches!
