ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloin
- 78.78 ml sugar
- 78.78 ml green onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.79 ml lime juice
- 14.79 ml fish sauce
- 2.46 ml salt
directions
- Combine the sugar, green onions, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the tenderloins, making sure they are coated with the marinade.
- Let sit in the fridge for as short as 4 hours, as long as 24 hours, turning when you can.
- Heat grill or broiler in your oven. But the outdoor grill is best.
- My brother's trick to grill these is to put them on the grill, on medium heat, and cover for 7 minutes, not disturbing them. Then turn over for 6 minutes. And then turn off the grill and let rest for 5.
- With my propane grill, I do them for 8,7,6. You want a bit of pink showing in the middle but almost all white.
- I love to eat these with a thai sweet and hot sauce, kids love them with plum sauce, and some just like them as is.

EXCELLENT! I marinated about 20 hours, then broiled in-house (winter time) about 5 1/2 minutes each 'side' on HI, came out great. Note that you have to make 2 tenderloins because: 1. they come 2/pack, and 2. one will be completely eaten by 'tasting' before you're ready to serve. (Initially it doesn't look like enough marinade, but after about 6 or 8 hours you no longer doubt).

WOW!!! This was great! I followed the instructions for the propane grill to a "T", and it was perfect. I served it with rice and topped it all with fresh cilantro---delicious! I'm planning on using the leftover pork for Vietnamese noodle salad (a great recipe is Hanoi Bun Bao--recipe #103540 on Recipezaar) instead of the beef. Thanks for a great recipe!

Wow cookin-jo this was dynamite! The flavour of the pork after marinading for 1 day was superb, it was sweet, sour & garlicy. The pork was juicy and very tender, a beautiful white and pale pink colour. I served it without dipping sauce, it wasn't necessary. A new favourite dish for me. The bestpork tenderloin I've had in awhile, thanks so much for sharing.

I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
