Smoked BBQ tenderloin with chili glaze served

Smoked BBQ Tenderloin with Chili Glaze

Smoked BBQ tenderloin with chili glaze is a truly special dish that combines the rich flavor of premium beef with a smoky, caramelized crust and a spicy chili glaze. The slow smoking and final grilling result in a perfect texture and flavor profile. Tenderloin is a favorite of steak enthusiasts because it is extremely tender and low in fat. Oak or hickory smoke particularly enhances the natural flavor of the beef, while the chili BBQ glaze creates a sweet and spicy balance. This dish is perfect for BBQ parties, special family gatherings, or a romantic dinner. If you want a truly authentic BBQ experience, serve it with grilled vegetables and a side of creamy mashed potatoes!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels, then let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

    2

    In a bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and ground cumin. Rub the mixture thoroughly all over the tenderloin.

    3

    Drizzle with olive oil and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    4

    Preheat your smoker or grill to 230-250°F (110-120°C) and prepare your smoking wood for the desired flavor.

    5

    Place the tenderloin on the smoker rack and smoke for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 120-130°F (50-55°C) for medium rare.

    6

    In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, and chili flakes. Brush the glaze all over the tenderloin.

    7

    Return the tenderloin to the smoker for another 15 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize.

    8

    Remove the tenderloin from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes.

    9

    Sear on all sides for 1-2 minutes on a hot grill grate or in a skillet to create a nice crust.

    10

    Slice thinly and serve with grilled vegetables or roasted potatoes.
