Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander

  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) center-cut beef tenderloin roast

Directions

  1. For rub, combine chili powder, coriander, brown sugar, paprika, dry mustard, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle rub over roast and rub in with your fingers.

  2. For a charcoal grill, arrange hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium-high heat above the pan. Place roast on grill rack over pan. Cover and grill for 60 to 75 minutes for medium-rare (135 degrees F). (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Adjust for indirect cooking. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; place pan on grill rack over the burner that is turned off. Grill as directed.)

  3. Remove meat from grill. Cover meat with foil; let stand for 15 minutes. Temperature of meat after standing should be 145 degrees F.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
