| I like to get my tenderloins at Acme, There's tons of places to get good pork tenderloin - but I have found that good 'ole ACME has a great meat department with good prices so that's where I go and you should too! At the grocery stores they come 2 to a pack and are usually at least $5.99/lb. The secret ingredient in great gilled pork tenderloin is Mojo. This is a Goya product that is in the Hispanic section of grocery stores. It comes in a 32oz. bottle and sells for $2.19. Buy 12 bottles - you'll be glad you did. Mojo is an island marinade full of lemon and lime juice plus garlic and a bunch of herbs. I use it for marinating all sorts of food but it goes best with pork. Take your tenderloins, pork some holes in them (get it - pork some holes in' em!) and put them in a gallon freezer bag with a bottle of Mojo overnight. Take them out of the Mojo and tie fresh Rosemary springs around the tenderloins and put them back in the marinade. If there is one herb you should grow - it's roesmary. It will survive the winter and come back bigger each year. Plant several rosemary plants - you can never have enough rosemary! Now you're ready to put them on the grill. It's quite a conversation piece and you're bound to get comments as far as what it looks like you're cooking! I do 5 minutes per side for all 4 sides. At this point the ends should be done so cut the string, remove the rosemary and cut the ends off. Cut the tenderloin in half and finish and lay pink side down for 2 more minutes. I always cut any meat at a tailgate party finger food bite size pieces. This recipe here is a staple at any TG Russ tailgate! | |
