Favorite Pork Tenderloin Recipe?

by Brian Taylor Clark » Fri May 29, 2009 8:18 am

Having some friends over tonight and wanted to see if you all have any good recipes for a PT that I will be grilling. I usually marinate in olive oil, fresh ground pepper, cilantro, and sea salt, but it seems a bit boring and contrived after a few years. Preferably something with a glaze or sauce. :) Thanks in advance

Me, I'm a purist. Season with kosher salt and fresh pepper, brush on a little olive oil, sear on HOT for 2 minutes a side, and finish until about borderline medium/medium rare on a grill set to medium (lid closed please) or in a 375 degree oven. Let rest a solid 15-20 minutes before serving, covered with foil.

I do serve with a sauce on the side sometimes--my favorite is about 2 tablespoons good horseradish mixed with about 1/2 cup good creme fraiche or sour cream, with cracked pepper, a pinch of kosher salt, and about a teaspoon of lemon juice. If you have fresh dill, snip some of that into the sauce. My version is on the hot side, so adjust the horseradish accordingly.

Oooh Brad your horseradish sauce sounds good! I'll definitely use that on some roast beef sandwiches.
I like fruit with pork so I usually slit the tenderloin down its length and stuff with a bunch of dried apricots or pitted prunes then truss it up before I cook it.

That sauce does sound good. I decided to mix it up a bit. I went up to Kingsleys' yesterday and found some great Ribeyes. Perfect amount of marbling, good size. Olive oil, sea salt and healthy amount of ground pepper. I purchased some hardwood lump charcoal and used that for the first time. I'm hooked. Super hot fire that lasts way longer than charcoal. I wouldn't be suprised if I walked out and it was still going from last night! The steaks turned out great. I cooked them all well done.










































just kidding :mrgreen: Cooked them medium and they just melted in your mouth. I am going to make that sauce of yours soon. I can see putting that on alot of things.

Glad your grilling turned out, Brian.

The sauce is fairly versatile, and Carla, nice suggestion for a RB sandwich (trust me, its better than Arby's horsey sauce--heh). I should give a shout out to my mother as it was her idea originally, years ago when I was growing up, though hers was just sour cream and horseradish. I "fancied it up" a bit.
