Title: Whole Smoked Stuffed Elk Tenderloins!!!!!
Post by: brianb231 on April 29, 2014, 09:56:25 AM: Hey Guys,

Thought I would share a drool or two with you. This past weekend we were camping during the 3D bowshot at Tacoma Sportsman's club and I brought both my whole Elk Tenderloins from my bull this past season. We stuffed them with Cream cheese and fresh chives and seasonings and wrapped them with a bacon blanket and smoked them until Med Rare. Holy Hell were they good. :tup: :tup: Too bad there isn't more of them in those big critters!

About 275 degrees in the smoker until the center was about 145 or so and then flash cooked the bacon outside until bacon was crisped and firmed up.

They were amazing.

Need more now!!!!!!! :bash:

YOu know some may say why add that to tenderloins but I gotta tell ya, the $3,000.00 or so per pound I spent on those were well worth it and the cream cheese and chives made it an unforgettable meal.!!!!!
