Couple of pork tenderloins - marinated in lime juice, palm sugar, fish sauce, garlic, sriracha, lemon grass and ginger. Cooked direct at 450 F. Amazingly moist.

After these came off I ramped down the temperature a bit - then cooked a little meat loaf direct and roasted a whole cauliflower to be used for what ever tomorrow.

    Nice sear on the outside, moist on the inside? Perfect!

    That looks fantastic! I have found a local "meat farm" (is what they call it here) that sells fresh pork products. The packaged ones from the chain groceries seem to salty to me, I am sure the inject to keep moist. Any thoughts on the chain products? Thanks in advance.

    These ones weren't seasoned - I always find those ones kind of hammy - I don't like them either.

    I always make the most BLAND and BORING pork tenderloins. Yours are gorgeous. Mind if I ask you for the specific measurements of your ingredients. I just got a brand new VitaMix and am itching to use it. Good idea or not? Also, how long did you cook and to what internal temp?

    Don't mind at all. I've mixed this with the immersion blender before - but actually find just mixing it together in a bowl works better.

    2 or 3 limes juiced
    1 tablespoon palm sugar
    2 or 3 tbsp fish sauce
    2 or 3 cloves garlic
    1 inch chunk ginger (or powdered ginger) grated or pressed through garlic press
    1 tablespoon frozen lemongrass - or 1 stalk fresh pounded and sliced
    2 or 3 squirts of shiracha (or to taste)

    You want to taste to see if it has that nice balance of sweet, salty, sour and hot and adjust as needed.
