Mouthwatering Beef Tenderloin with Cowboy Butter for the Holidays

Smoking a whole beef tenderloin is an elevated classic dish that my family thoroughly enjoys, especially during the Holidays. It just feels like you are enjoying one of the best, most tender meats ever. I start off with a slather of The W Sauce and finish it off with a delicious Cowboy butter. In this recipe and accompanying video we are going to reverse sear (smoke and then sear) the tenderloin, so we get a smoked element, but also the amazing taste from the char of a great sear.

Fantastic video , I also grew up poor with 4 brother and 3 sisters we had to make everything last and NO WASTE , but we were very fortunate we did a lot of hunting and fishing so we were able to provide and share with other families. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@DJMark904]

"I ain't mad at it..." love that phrase!!!

[@davidbmiller509]

Definitely on my to cook list.

[@johnhunter5890]

Greetings Matt. I have been following your videos now for about 2 years. I appreciate your experience, help, instructions and honesty. I hope the new year brings you and yours; health, wealth, wisdom and protection. Cheers from Canada

[@keithfarrar7712]

I just cooked this for my Father’s Day supper. It was awesome and my whole family really enjoyed it!

[@stevemeeks3826]

I swear my bucket list is to go watch take notes and LEARN!!! Great video!!

[@Amocoru]

I opened KZbin to watch something while we ate the tenderloin I reverse seared tonight and you uploaded this. Perfection.

[@rudevalve]

Certified Gold!!!!!

[@psavelli65]

Can't wait to try this. Your Pork Tenderloin technique is what I do a lot of because cost is low but now its all anyone asks for - love the spices from MeatChurch - your videos have completely changed how I cook for the better. Thanks so much.

[@FreeBird614Two]

Fantastic ... Actually gave my two sons Meat Church seasoning and rubs with bottles of the W FireShire as Xmas gifts... one of my sons made smash burgers using Holy Cow and reported that they were the best ever!

[@SirPartyRoc]

You speak so much truth from wife preferring the loin and trolling the haters. Great cook!

[@tomasperez8595]

Went by to say hello on Saturday. Bought a few souvenirs and some rubs that I’m dying to try. Really appreciate your videos. Happy holidays my friend.

[@kevcleaver]

Thanks for all the content over the year Matt. Have a good Christmas.

[@rodskopyk2506]

First comment, you did a great job, made me hungry for sure. Doing this with a side we bought from my uncle not as big, but we tie it differently. Love your rubs and videos

[@78LedHead]

That's a badass hat. Meat Church has some of the best merch in the business.

[@TheNormalGuy-or8rm]

Looks Amazing !!! Merry Christmas! Wishing the Meat Church family a safe and Happy Holidays...

[@shayneunger1457]

Did this for Christmas. Absolutely smash hit with the friends and family.

[@kdranchaz3240]

OUTSTANDING cook and information! Love all your rubs! Merry Christmas from southern Arizona!

[@gneely7]

Matt! You truly have influenced my outdoor cooking and have helped me take it to another level! Not sure why you’d have any haters! I’m sure “you ain’t mad at it” 😉

[@cyrlschock7934]

You make me hungry with every recipe! Merry Christmas from the great white north.

[@daniellothamer]

I yet have to smoke a beef tenderloin. However I just did a prime on my offset smoker. I did 2 small ones. We ate the one but the other one I put in the fridge then the next day I sliced the prime rib up thin to dip it in hot aujus sauce. It's amazing.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds delicious!

[@tonyd9448]

I made this, and it turned out great! i did the cowboy butter and the horseradish cream, and preferred the cream over the butter. But the butter was good drizzled over some veggies we had!

[@jschmidtke100]

Going to try it this year for Christmas. Looking forward to it!

[@offrodnolefmr7445]

Here I go again…look out butcher man, pull me a whole tenderloin. I’ve watched Meat Church again. The prime rib last Christmas was spot on. The family couldn’t get enough and they had midnight fridge raid with horseradish sauce and sour dough. Thanks for all you do Matt.

[@uuzd4s]

This is WAY Better than the nightly News. It makes me Smile And I drool ! 😋 Happy Holidaze Buckaroo's & Buckarette's !! 👍 👍

[@paulpence8895]

Growing up in the 60-70's my father and grandfather would get our local butcher to age rib roasts for ribeye steaks... His son and I were best friends, living in a small farming community of about 450... Still love me some ribeye's and I know all the meat snobs out there slam filet, but its still my favorite steak... Probably did prime rib the previous three years for xmas, but last year... Steak Diane with Costco Prime Filet Minion.... it was just ridiculous good....

[@Dgarza461]

Happy holidays from San Antonio Texas!!!! Love the content

[@bondjames7839]

I agree W sauce is the bomb!!! I tried it on chicken after one post but think is better on pork or beef with a long marinade time. Makes it stay moist and retain that flavor. I cooked a pork tenderloin till it reached 200 which gave it some good bark on the outside but intetrnal meat was tender and moist looking forward to doing it again.

[@MrTimmyGT]

Perfect timing, just ordered my tenderloins yesterday! Merry Christmas to you and your family, enjoy the holidays!

[@stevegrieb6596]

We have four cats and a large dog. Nothing we trim when we cook goes to waste. Having said that, this looks like another great recipe. You and Joe are my go to guys for barbecue and sausage recipes.

[@JayHBoomerSooners7]

Ain’t mad at that tenderloin! Merry Christmas to you and the family. Cheers

[@slando4848]

Alright alright alright! Going with this for Christmas dinner in NJ. Thanks Matt!

[@shawngillogly6873]

All my big beef cuts are slathered 50/50 W sauce and Fireshire. And my burger meat gets marinated in it night before. Great stuff.

[@wasrados]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@TheCryptarch]

Happy Holidays to Matt and Mrs Meat Church! Thanks so much for the work you put into the videos! Hoping to come out next year to see the new store and get a BBQ lesson!

[@BlazyDukes]

Holy mother of Meat Church, that looks damn good. Thanks for the great content, Matt!

[@aldolajak1267]

I'm not sure I even want to go to Christmas dinner at my son's and daughter in law's. She is serving turkey and ham. How can I enjoy that after seeing this.

[@anthonyenglish8625]

The reverse sear is the way to go. It looked great.

[@mcos5532]

I was yelling at the TV "take a bite", that looked pretty awesome

[@whatsdenniscooking6746]

Matt, looks awesome as usual. May you and yours have a Merry Christmas.

[@brentnicks5013]

[@VillanuevaMedia]

Looks awesome! Love the new additions to the video intro, love how ya'll are always looking to be creative and improve.

[@JimLyons-z6w]

Merry Christmas!

[@caseykerr7703]

That looks amazing!!

[@jbrew9973]

Glove police… Matt you da man. Thanks so much for your videos, Merry Christmas to you and your family! We bought Meat church spices for stocking stuffers this year!

[@JohnPeterson-x3m]

I agree with the comment about women preferring tenderloin. It's a fan favorite in out house. And Yes SUPER easy to took, I too was intimidated at first

[@JohnAllmond-zd7ur]

As always looks amazing and will definitely have to try this thanks for all the videos big fan

[@deanm4138]

That looks awesome. Merry Christmas to you and your family Matt

[@KGFishyFingers]

Looks great! I sear first then finish it. Both ways work great.

[@mikebajko5955]

Bought a 5lb strip loin for new years. Thinking of trying this with it. Can’t be bad.

[@sonnicman]

Merry Christmas to you and the family Matt. You #nailedit

[@EverydayPeople2471]

Looks awesome and Merry Christmas. Just got back from China and among all the foods I tried had some of their bbq. Totally different but still great. Looking forward to warmer weather to drag the smoker out and get cooking again.

[@jjpop24]

Worked as a BBQ cook at a place and we used this cut to make beef jerky and would spend half a day trimming tenderloins and I don't miss it lol

[@_Merica_USA]

Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!

[@jimpalmer4061]

That little end makes awesome fillet bites!

[@BBQFriend]

Yeah Buddy! Absolutely crushed this one

[@jeannetaylor2217]

Hey there, I just subscribed to your channel and I’m loving it!!❤. I’m big on home cooking and making my own Stock. The pieces you cut off the tenderloin, that still have meat, would make a FABULOUS beef stock!! Just throw in some vegetable scrap’s if you have them or cut up some veggies like onions, carrots, celery or whatever else you want. My mouth was watering all through this video!! Thank you for sharing 💕🙏🙏

[@jamesguest4873]

Merry Xmas mate. I wish you and your peoples the best.

[@mikem.5237]

Merry Christmas Matt!

[@sauravsilal2188]

Wow nice love it the way it’s cooked to perfection

[@glenntriplett]

🍖 Beef tenderloin looks Delicious 😋 Matt, keep up the good cooking and BBQ 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bodynfocus]

Wow! 😱😱 MUST DO THIS.

[@RoscoAdams-xt5lp]

🎄 Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 From Aussie Land 🍻 Cheers 🥂

[@nsalter76]

awesome as always! cracking me up in montana about the gloove haters!!!

[@jeffhines73]

I just got your Chilli seasoning and man oh man it was great .. hard to find a good chilli mix here in Australia and missed it so much from back home in the States .. Just wanted to say thanks it sure bring back great memories

[@w2ttsy670]

Tell me about it. You can get some decent mixes at meat emporium in Alexandria (if you’re in Sydney) as well as from great meat co (Leichhardt) and Vic’s Meats (Pyrmont). But nothing beats meat church and I just picked up a bunch of Matt’s favs when I was in austin a few weeks back

[@AWAG_FK]

Great timing! I have a whole tenderloin in the fridge right now! I also have all your seasonings, so trying it tomorrow. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Looks so good. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers, Matt! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@krisblodgett9623]

Was going to do a prime rib roast on Christmas day after attending your BBQ class last week in FW, but I have changed my mind, absolutely going to try this out on Christmas! Happy Holidays to you and your family Matt!!

[@rudder645]

Did this one tonight, amazing! used a bit of Blanco

[@arg8763]

I have a 24lb prime rib roast getting ready for Christmas Day, and might make some of this cowboy butter to go along with the au jus.

[@buddyb1958]

Thanks Matt, great video! Had planned on doing tenderloin w/ the horseradish cream for Christmas, but I'm thinking Cowboy butter now! Best to you and your family for a wonderful holiday!

[@truckerclock1654]

I was already thinking of doing tenderloin this new years. That settles it!

[@denniskuhlman8828]

Great cook

[@buicklimited1976]

I'm doing a venison hind quarter and bone in turkey breast, cabbage, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. Undecided about dessert still, cheesecake!

[@mainnerd2222]

I've seen cowboy butter all over KZbin and I've been wanting to try it out.

[@briannaapplegate6309]

Great ! Thanks -always great info

[@kaosactual1]

About 4" for end of tail, cut it nearly through and then fold under. Exposes end grain and evens out the thickness of the meat once tied up.

[@Mister-Mike]

Off we go! Ready to eat now that my results were clear.

[@johnm1619]

Great video. If there's haters they need to just go away

[@TTT-1961.]

Just ordered holy cow on AMZN. You give off lots of free advice so a little support back is due

[@stevemaynor2624]

As always matt. Just badass

[@zacheno2125]

“Haters fuel my engagement.” 😂. Keep doing what you do, Matt. I love your videos. Thanks for all your knowledge. Merry Christmas!

[@martinallen1892]

Your dog is like mine. They never taste the meat. Great video can't wait to try this recipe.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

haha true

[@skwerlee]

Mmmm looks delicious!!

[@leedoss6905]

A well cooked and seasoned pork roast beats anything. And a hell of a lot less money.

[@garyelrod8856]

Great video I appreciate it!
