Ingredients

  • Center cut beef tenderloin, approximately 8 inches
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ยฝ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz. shiitake mushrooms
  • 8 oz. portabella mushrooms
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ยผ cup beef stock
  • ยผ cup dry red wine
  • 8 oz. spinach
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • Butcherโ€™s twine
  • Braswell's Smoke And Fire Burger Starter And Topper

Instructions

Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 350ยฐF; preheat a Big Green Egg Cast Iron Skillet.

Add extra virgin olive oil and butter to the skillet. Add the onion, cook until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, then add the garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Add the stock and red wine, simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the spinach; remove the skillet from the heat once the spinach has wilted.

Trim excess fat from the meat. Make a lengthwise cut down the center of the meat, cutting almost to, but not through, the other side. Open the meat like a book and cover it with plastic wrap. Gently use the flat side of a meat tenderizer to even out the thickness to ยฝ to ยพ inch.

Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the beef, leaving about ยฝ inch around the sides. Roll the beef up, and tie at 1 inch intervals with the butcherโ€™s twine to secure the roll. Brush the entire roll with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and then coat withย Braswell’s Smoke And Fire Burger Starter And Topper. Bake for 30 minutes at 350ยฐF/177ยฐC or until the internal temperature is 120ยฐF/49ยฐC.

Set the EGG for direct cooking without the convEGGtor at 500ยฐF/260ยฐC. Sear the roll for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat, let rest for 10 minutes. Cut the butcherโ€™s twine from the roll, slice and serve!

  1. Sounds and looks delicious. I am wondering how difficult it is to go from indirect heat to direct heat while the egg is hot. Seems like some special tools might be used to help move the heavy and hot convEGGtor?
