Question
I bought a beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner. I just found out the oven I would be using is not working! Are there any reliable alternative cooking methods? It will be quite cold, but I could use a bbq (not gas), also have crockpot and gas stove.
The bast way I know of to cook beef tenderloin is in the oven. If you cut it into steaks it could be cooked in a sautee pan or on the grill. If you cook the "roast" in the crock pot it will ruin the texture because of the lack of connective tissues. Unfortunately the oven is the only method I would recommend for the entire "roast". You may want to ask a nearby friend if you can cook it in their oven and simply bring it home to serve. sorry I cannot be of more assistance.

Expertise
I can answer almost any question that revolves around food. This includes product selection, preparation, cooking, technique, "finishing", plating, and some wine/beer pairing. I have been trained and I am familiar with foods from most of the countries or regions in the culinary world. I am also an avid hunter, fisherman and trained Butcher so I am intimately familiar with processing game and domesticated animals. I can recommend processing products and techniques, cooking methods for different cuts of almost any meat, and proper seasoning for game and domestic meats. If I don't know an answer I can find out! Ask any questions I love a challenge!
