The charmed life, I tell ya! You want both those things together here, you gotta go to the supermarket! Can't even eat at a patio restaurant yet! Thanks, Doug!

Not just a steak really a tenderloin, a Pittsburgh tenderloin, with cajun spice and mushroom and port sauce. And to be fair, restaurants have only just reopened here and the province i down to 200 odd cases a day, i think Ontario’s getting a lot more still no?

Whatever happens in these playoffs, I think we’ll all remember the epic comeback against TO and the fact that come playoffs time, Price is Prime Price - Karine Hains

Sigh, yeah.... We're still well over 500 cases/day. I miss going out...
Steak sounded amazing... Could likely do without the sauce, I like my steak...steak-y. Most I'll put on a steak is a rub and/or an herb compound butter.

It's a tenderloin, that's hard to even consider a steak for me, you'll need to do a lot to give it some flavour, although a compound butter would help the lack of fat issue. To each their own I guess but for me a tenderloin is barely a steak

For me, given the tenderloin? I'd do a sous-vide cook with a reverse sear. Slather that tenderloin in the softened compound butter, vac-seal, bring to just around blue-rare, then hard sear on cast iron to bring to rare/mid-rare.

Just got one and did this for the first time a week or so ago. I was shocked by how awesome it was. This is the way.

Still want a ribeye or strip though - Takemedrunkimhome
Oh, for sure.
I've done sous-vide pork tenderloin with the herbed butter mix before. Because you can sous-vide for hours without overcooking, doing that with leaner meats like tenderloin allows the flavors from the compound butter really permeate the meat, without killing the texture. With tenderloins, for me? It's sous-vide or smoke now. Low and controlled temperatures all the way.

My gf did boneless skinless chicken breasts and they were so juicey I was shocked. She told me she forgot about them and they cooked for like an hour but stayed the right temp inside. It changed how I plan to cook a lot of proteins moving forward

Do you smoke for a full cook or do you finish in a pan or fryer? - Takemedrunkimhome
I finish in the oven, just long enough to crisp up the skin, so you get that crunch. No sauce, just rub and smoke @235 F for 1.5-2 hrs. (Using an apple&hickory mix)

Nice. Secret rub, or..? - Takemedrunkimhome
Not really, though I do prefer a savoury rub to a sweet one, for chicken.
2 Tablespoons Chili Powder (I use Ancho and/or chipotle)
2 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika (If using chipotle, regular paprika works fine!)
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
3 teaspoons Fresh Ground Pepper
1 teaspoon Cayenne (I use fresh ground dried pequin peppers...Good heat, nice smoky flavor)
Dry the wings, add a bit of oil, toss, apply rub, let sit for minimum 1 hour, and smoke away.
