2) Repackaged and sous vide at 115°F for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. (If you do not have a sous vide, smoke or bake your tenderloin roast at 225°F for 45 minutes or until you hit an internal of 115°F.)
3) Then grill at high heat till 120°F. Rest for 15 minutes to allow some carry-over cooking to hit 130°F for a final internal temp.
4) Sliced and served with an espresso cream sauce.
Espresso Cream (Prepared while the roast is resting)

2) Add in all your dry ingredients, stir and toast the seasonings in the butter until fragrant (about 1 minute).
3) Stir in your espresso, and, stirring, bring to a simmer. Add in your cream, constantly stir and bring to a simmer.
4) Reduce heat to low and keep warm, occasionally stirring until thickened.
5) Keep warm until service.
