1 tablespoon lime zest
4 cloves garlic cloves, finely minced
4 teaspoons honey

  • Measure out 1/2 cup lime mixture into small bowl, whisk in 4 teaspoons mayonnaise, and set sauce aside. Add steaks to the large bowl with remaining marinade and toss thoroughly to coat. Lay plastic wrap directly over meat, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 45 minutes. Preheat has grill on high for 15 minutes, then clean and oil cooking grate. Important to oil grates. Remove steaks from bag, but do not pat dry.

Close grill cover and cook for 3 to 8 minutes longer until steaks reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.

Meanwhile microwave sauce for 15 to 30 seconds until warm, and stir in chopped cilantro. Slice steaks against grain into 1/2" thick slices. Drizzle with half the sauce. Serve remaining sauce for passing.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed
1 tablespoon grated lime zest plus 1/4 cup juice (2 limes)
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons fish sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Flake sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Slice each tenderloin in half crosswise to create 4 steaks total. Pound each half to 3/4-inch thickness. Using sharp knife, cut 1/8-inch-deep slits spaced 1/2 inch apart in crosshatch pattern on both sides of steaks. 2. Whisk lime zest and juice, garlic, honey, fish sauce, salt, and pepper together in large bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle oil into lime mixture until smooth and slightly thickened. Transfer 1/2 cup lime mixture to small bowl and whisk in mayonnaise; set aside sauce. Add steaks to bowl with remaining marinade and toss thoroughly to coat; transfer steaks and marinade to large zipper-lock bag, press out as much air as possible, and seal bag. Let steaks sit at room temperature for 45 minutes. 3A. FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. 3B. FOR A GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner on high and turn off other burner(s). 4. Clean and oil cooking grate. Remove steaks from marinade (do not pat dry) and place over hotter part of grill. Cook, uncovered, until well browned on first side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip steaks and cook until well browned on second side, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer steaks to cooler part of grill, with wider end of each steak facing hotter part of grill. Cover and cook until meat registers 140 degrees, 3 to 8 minutes longer (remove steaks as they come to temperature). Transfer steaks to carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. 5. While steaks rest, microwave reserved sauce until warm, 15 to 30 seconds; stir in cilantro. Slice steaks against grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Drizzle with half of sauce; sprinkle with sea salt, if using; and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
