Lomo al Trapo - Beef Tenderloin in Cloth

Just about the coolest thing you’ll EVER toss on the grill. More specifically, in the grill !!!

  • Lomo al trapo translates directly as “beef tenderloin in cloth.” It is a Colombian dish cooked right on the hot coals. Compliments of primal grill tv show.

  • Combine above marinade ingredients and store at least 2 hours in refrigerator.

  • Light 1 full chimney starter full of coals and place in grill once white hot. No grill grate needed!

  • While coals are heating up, prep the tenderloins, or lomo. Lay out the cloth and cover with salt, leaving an approx 1" salt-free border. Place the tenderloin on one end, cover with salt then roll up like a burrito. Tie it VERY securely with cooking twine. Some salt will leak out, no big deal. Just be sure the tenderloin is completely encased in salt.

  • Once your coals are hot, throw the lomo DIRECTLY onto the coals. Turn after 9 minutes, then cook another 8-9 minutes depending on desired doneness.

  • Lift the lomo out of the grill, tap solidly with tongs or a meat mallet and the burnt up cloth simply falls off. Allow to rest for 5 min, slice and enjoy.
