Title: First pork tenderloin
Post by: Davescprktl on May 21, 2018, 06:13:33 PM
Holy S@!t why did I not try this sooner!  What an amazing, succulent and tender piece of meat! 
I first marinated it in these ingredients

Brown sugar, lemon juice, fresh ginger, soy sauce, Worchester sauce, spicy sesame oil, crushed garlic, mustard powder.

Wanted an Asian flair to it.  Used my stacker again.  This time I used the deflector plate for even and indirect cooking.  I literally used the last briquette of charcoal I had.  I literally had to scour to find enough to fill half a chimney.  Thank goodness that the Lowe's charcoal sale is coming up May 24th.  I used my Maverick and set the temp as close to 250 as I could.  As the cook progressed I noticed that it was going painfully slow.  I discovered that the probe on my Maverick must be faulty.  Normally I use mechanical thermostats.  They have served me well and are fairly accurate.  I noticed that the Maverick was about 50 degrees off from my mechanical thermo.  Once I relied on that one the cook progressed nicely.  You know that is all @1buckie uses. Maybe he has something there.  By the way I have not heard from you. Are you still out there? Anyway I cooked it to around 140. I pulled it and rested it.  Man it is tender, juicy, and the marinade worked nicely into the meat.  If you have not cooked one of these yet you have got to do this.  TRUST ME! it's awesome.

Looks great Dave! Tenderloins are a staple protein for me. Lean, tender, and quick!

I like to cook pork tenderloin a little hotter...Low and slow can dry them out since they have no fat to help em...

Yours looks fantastic...

Yeah.... I'm around Dave.....
Computer broke down & had other items that needed attention first.....

I'm on the wife's iPad.......which basically makes me howl in agony trying to post stuff here...

Want to try something special w / tenderloins, inject......creole butter is a good one, or lemon pepper marinade, strained to keep the chunks from clogging the injector.....doing that kinda replaces the  fattiness that isn't there in a lean piece like that......

I'll see if I can find some pics.......

Tenderloins are the best. Easy to cook by feel too. One of my favorite things to grill.

Yea Pork tenderloin is a great piece of meat. I have several ways to do it

one of my favorites is to slice it as I roll it until it is a large flat pattie. I then spread stuffing all over it and roll it back up. Then tie it off with butchers string and slow cook it.

Boy I just popped a craving on myself
