Vietnamese Grilled Pork Tenderloin image

Pork tenderloin on the barbecue has never been so tender or simple. I found this recipe in Gourmet magazine and didn't like the carmelizing process, so I just made it my own marinade. And my brother's tips on grilling tenderloin made it so easy!

Categories     Pork

Time 8h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pork tenderloin
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup green onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, green onions, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the tenderloins, making sure they are coated with the marinade.
  • Let sit in the fridge for as short as 4 hours, as long as 24 hours, turning when you can.
  • Heat grill or broiler in your oven. But the outdoor grill is best.
  • My brother's trick to grill these is to put them on the grill, on medium heat, and cover for 7 minutes, not disturbing them. Then turn over for 6 minutes. And then turn off the grill and let rest for 5.
  • With my propane grill, I do them for 8,7,6. You want a bit of pink showing in the middle but almost all white.
  • I love to eat these with a thai sweet and hot sauce, kids love them with plum sauce, and some just like them as is.
