Tenderloin ideas?

[Okiejoebronco25]

Not sure if many are aware, or I am late to the game but my new favorite hobby is frequenting Sprouts to gather meat at drastic discounts. Almost every visit something is towards end of sell by date at usually $1 per pound. I just scooped up a bag of Durok Heritage pork tenderloin for about $2.25 each. Normally I will pressure cook and it’s great. Any smoker or grilling recipes for these. Also picked up 25 pounds of pork loin roast from ShopRite at $1.49/#.

Rub and smoke however you like, but keep internal meat temps 145-150 then pull and rest then slice. You will be rewarded.

This is one of my family favorites:

Pork Loin with Lemon Pepper and Caper Sauce

• 1 center cut pork loin
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Lemon pepper

Caper Sauce

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup diced capers
• 5 cloves roasted garlic
• 2 Tbs. lemon juice
• 1 Tbs. fresh dill, or ½ Tbs. dried dill
• S&P to taste

• Heat smoker to 250F
• Rub loin with olive oil
• Sprinkle with Kosher salt
• Shake on a generous amount of lemon pepper
• Add loin to smoker and cook to an internal temp of 140-145F, about 2.5 hours
• Let rest for 10-15 minutes
• While loin is cooking, mix together caper sauce – you can blend together in a blender, adding capers last and pulsing only a few times

Serve loin with sauce on the side. Side dishes include sweet potatoes, fried squash, green beans, creamed spinach, cheesy corn with chili, and scalloped potatoes.

NICE SCORE!!! YOU SUCK LOL. Tloin is a essentially a no fail blank canvas as long as pull low 140Fs. You might be surprised how well a steak rub performs on it. Montreal/Canadian steak to be specific. I'd also be curing a bunch of that.

Here’s a cook I posted a while back. The sauce can go many directions: berry, peach, pineapple, etc….

Grilled pork tenderloin with blackberry habanero glaze

Hey All, Here's an easy grilled pork tenderloin that's BIG on flavor. I had this recipe from my Dad who had it from https://www.mnpork.com/porkplease/blackberry-habanero-glazed-pork-tenderloin/ Don't be concerned about the Habaneros, this is not a hot recipe. If you are super sensitive start...

Pork tenderloin doesn't take long on a grill or smoker . Maybe an 1 1/2 hours tops .
I dry brine with Canadian steak seasoning overnight , then into the smoker at 225 until it hits temp .

I take them right to 145 , and let them carry over a bit . They hold the pink color more than a regular loin , and I have some that don't like that . Still tender at higher temp .


Makes great sliders too .

Pork Tenderloin Kebobs

Source: Cook's Illustrated

INGREDIENTS

20 ozs pork tenderloin 1 loin
1 tsp kosher salt
1 each red bell pepper
1 each sweet onion petaled
6 ozs mushrooms
2 tablespoons italian dressing

Hoisin BBQ Sauce:

1 1/2 tsp five-spice
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cornstarch
4 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/2 tsp salt
vegetable Oil spray
grilling basket for veggies

DESCRIPTION
Serve with grilled onion pedals, colorful peppers & mushrooms.

DIRECTIONS

Cut pork into large 1” chunks to be skewered. Toss pork in large bowl with 1 tsp salt. Let sit 20 min. Skip the salt if pork came packed pre-moistened.

Whisk five-spice, 1/2 tsp salt, garlic & cornstarch in bowl then stir in the hoisin.

While pork is marinating with the salt, cut the pepper into 1.5” squares, quarter the onion and pull apart into petals, clean mushrooms and remove stems but leave whole. Place all veggies into a bowl. Pour in dressing and toss thoroughly.

Using a rubber spatula, toss the pork with the hoisin mixture to cover well, remembering to reserve 1 1/2 tbs of the mixture for second brushing. Thread pork onto metal skewers leaving 1/4 inch between pieces. SPRAY both sides of meat generously with oil.

Heat grill until hot, +350º. Generously spray the grilling basket with oil. Dump all the veggies into it, place on grill. Toss occasionally & continue grilling until somewhat charred ends have appeared. Give the veggies 10-15 minute grilling head start of the pork. Remove to kitchen for plating.

While the veggies grill, clean and oil the grates to be used for the pork. Place skewered meat on the grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Flip skewers, brush with the reserved hoisin mixture & continue to grill until the meat registers 140º, 4-5 minutes. Sometimes it take a bit more depending on how big you cut the pieces.

Remove from grill to a platter. Tent with alum foil for 5 minutes. Remove meat from each skewer to individual plates and serve with the roasted veggies.

That looks fantastic. Personally I would skip shallots as I don’t do onions other then fried on sausage or cheesesteak. But sounds delicious

Do an overnight mild salt water brine, then dry it off and coat it with garlic butter and grill or smoke it to 142°f, slice and serve.

The pork tenderloin also does amazing well in an air fryer like this.

Missed this last night. We shop at Sprouts while in Florida. Don't go often enough to get the sales.
I picked up a pack of tenderloins at local (MN) Costco. There are 2 tenders per package or 4 total
I put half package into a salt brine solution to cook later this week.
The other package went to dry cure for loin bacon tonight. I like using tenderloin for (Canadian) bacon as the smaller slices work well on pizza

I've done this quite a few times, its been my main go to with tenderloin. We found a Grill Mates pork marinade from Walmart that's quite a bit cheaper than the one ATBBQ sells, but I think about any marinade would work.

And I reverse sear the medallions on the Kettle. I also found GrillGrates help a lot with the bacon, it controlled the flame ups.

I typically season with SPOG, then indirect on the grill with a few chunks of your favorite wood to about 125-230ish then roll it over the flames to get a little char to about 135.
