Dr. Pepper Beef Tenderloin Recipe

Posted by Grandma Jeanne on April 29, 2010

We had this at a friend’s house, and it was wonderful.

2 pounds beef tenderloin
1 liter Dr Pepper (not diet)
1/2 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3 cloves garlic, crushed

Combine all marinade ingredients in large Ziploc bag.

Add beef tenderloin

Marinade 5 hours or overnight

Heat grill to medium

Reserve marinade if you wish to make sauce (see below)

Add tenderloin, cook turning occasionally

Cook about 45 minutes, until meat registers 130 degrees

Transfer to board and rest before slicing

You can also heat the marinade to a boil and simmer until slightly reduced and serve as a sauce.
