1
Remove beef tenderloin from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking to let come to room temperature.
2
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450°F (or 500°F, if available) and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
3
Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large baking sheet and rub all over with the olive oil. Season all sides with the salt and pepper.
4
Place beef tenderloin directly on the grill grate and sear on all sides with the temperature down to 300°F.
300 ˚F / 149 ˚C
5
Roast the tenderloin at 300°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F in the center for rare or 135°F for medium-rare, about 60 to 75 minutes. Turn once during cook time.
300 ˚F / 149 ˚C
125 ˚F / 52 ˚C
6
Remove tenderloin from the grill, tent with foil and allow the beef to rest for 20 minutes. This will allow the juices to distribute evenly throughout the beef.
7
For the Gremolata: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey until the honey dissolves. Stir in the shallot and a generous pinch of salt and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the herbs, almonds and oil. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Slice tenderloin into thick slices and serve with gremolata. Enjoy!
