Meat - Bourbon Beef Tenderloin

Serves 8 - 10

1 cup bourbon
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 T Worcestershire sauce
2 cups water
3-4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves chopped
1 5 pound beef tenderloin, silver connective tissue removed
Oil to brush grill

Preheat grill or oven to 350 F

Prepare marinade by combining bourbon through thyme in a bowl. Make sure the tenderloin has been cleaned and the tissues have been removed. Fold the tail end of the beef back underneath itself so that it is of uniform thickness and secure with butcher's string. Place meat in a dish and pour marinade over meat, cover, and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or up to overnight, turning meat over several times. When grill is ready, place meat on oiled surface and reserve the liquid from the marinade. Cook over high heat with lid closed, turning meat often and occasionally basting with the marinade. Cook for approximately 25 minutes for medium rare. Serve with horseradish cream on the side.
