Pork, Tenderloin, Grilled Lime Marinated Pork

Had another 'personal best' on the Egg tonight. I used an old pork chop recipe that I had in my BigOven software and I just converted it to pork tenderloin. All of us had at least two helpings. One of my 8 y/o's friends was over for dinner and he scarfed it down like a hungry pup


INGREDIENTS:
4 pork chops (see notes below)
3 tsp lime juice
4 tsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
2 garlic
1 tsp crushed red pepper
ground pepper
1/2 tsp salt



Instructions
1 Place pork in a shallow non-reactive dish or heavy duty sealable bag.
2 In a small bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and pour the mixture over the pork. Turn the meat to coat thoroughly, cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate 1 to 3 hours.
3 Remove the meat from the marinade, discarding the marinade and place the chops on the grill to sear. Cook about 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Our Notes:
1 02-22-2008: This works great using a pork tenderloin instead of the chops. Get the grill (BGE) to 500°F and sear the tenderloin on each side for about 60-90 seconds. Set the tenderloin in a v-rack in a water filled dripping pan and return to grill. Maintain the heat around 450f until the meat hits 145f internal temp. Double wrap in foil and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes so temp will rise to 155f. Slice on a bias and serve.

Cooking Tips
i skip all the v-rack and drip pan nonsense. and just grill direct 350-400 ish until the tenderloin is 145.. pull, rest under foil, and slice.. it is very good on some tortillas.. tb 2009/02/08

just curious>why are the ends tied up?

Barry,

They look great. I never would have thought of tenderloin in tacos. The pictures are awesome too. Did I read that that is the led grill light?

My daughter (she's 10) told me a few months ago that she learned in school that Taco Bell meat was "Grade D". I haven't been able to eat Taco Bell since :(

You and yor wife make great food!! Nice pics.
