Tenderloin Tips

[bmacfla]

Was thinking about putting rub on some tenderloin tips and smoking them to use as Super Bowl appetizers, with BBQ sauce to dip. Couldn't find much info on doing that. Anyone done that? Thoughts? Thanks. GO BUCS

I've not tried what you are asking about but. I have a Grilled Flank Steak Marinade that works great on Tender Tips. Marinate as long as possible, then an hour of Smoke at 180 to 225. Finish with a sear to get good color. You may not want anything else on them...JJ

Grillin' BEEF Marinade

1C Soy Sauce
1C Brown Sugar
1/2C Minced Onion or 2T Onion Flakes*
1/2C Mirin or Wine (Any)
1ea Korean Pear, or Apple, peeled and pureed or 1/2C Apple Sauce
2Tbs Minced Garlic
1Tbs Minced or Grated Ginger
1Tbs Sesame Oil
1Tbs Sriracha (Optional)
Combine all and Marinate 2 Flank or other Steaks, 24 to 48 hours. Makes great Jerky too. Up to 4 pounds of Beef Strips.
NOTE:* I remember Dad using Dry Onion Flakes, but Fresh Onion works too.
