TEA-SMOKED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR SALAD

Tea-Smoked Beef Tenderloin With Pear Salad image

A fantastic show stopper! The flavours are incredible and the dish is easier to put together than it reads. I actually cannot take much credit as it is one of my husband's signature dishes. He prepares the beef on the BBQ in a large stock pot; I am the sous chef on this one preparing the salad ;). You can prepare the salad in advance as well as the dressing. Add as much of the fresh herbs as you like. From the local paper. Great recipe if you are trying to reduce carbs. Recipe calories are lower than listed (only 500 per serving) as rice and brown sugar are not consumed but just used for the smoking

If you are using a smoker, set it to a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit and smoke the tenderloin for 2-3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are grilling the tenderloin, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rest the beef tenderloin: Once the tenderloin is cooked, remove it from the smoker or grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
