MOCK BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Rinse beef shoulder to remove any unwanted residue, pat dry with paper toweling, and place on a utility platter. In a small bowl, make the rub for the beef by combining Smokey Rotisserie Seasoning and Garlic Pepper. Rub the seasonings into all surfaces of the beef, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and set aside for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours at room temperature. (The seasonings will actually begin to "cure" the meat.)
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In an ovenproof skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat, and sear all sides of beef. Cover pan (with lid or foil) and transfer to oven to finish cooking, bringing to an internal temperature of 115 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 minutes.
• While the beef is in the oven, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat and cook the onions until they are translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they soften and begin to give up their juices. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Remove beef from oven and let rest to carryover cook to an internal temperature of 132 degrees F for medium-rare, about 10 to 15 minutes.

(Leave undisturbed for the first 2 minutes or so as you sear each side to allow the seasonings to integrate into the surface of the meat and to allow the caramelization process to begin.)
• Transfer entire pan to the oven to finish until meat thermometer reaches an internal temperature of about 118 degrees F and pull out to let rest and carryover cook to an internal temperature of 132 degrees or so for medium-rare as measured on a meat thermometer, or cook until done to your liking.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-GARLIC-PEPPER COATING

Steps:

• Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
• Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
• Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.
