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.
