Grilled Thai Pork Tenderloin With Coconut Lime Peanut Sauce Recipes

GRILLED ASIAN PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic and coriander to make a smooth sauce.
• Trim the pork of excess fat and silverskin.
• Butterfly the tenderloins by splitting each one lengthwise almost but not quite all the way through, so the halves remain attached.
• Open each tenderloin like a book, cover with plastic wrap, and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
• Place the pork loins in a bowl with marinade and turn to coat. Let marinate 10-20 minutes, (or up to several hours in the refrigerator.)
• While pork marinates, heat gas grill on high, clean and oil grates.
• Remove tenderloins from marinade, letting excess marinade drip back into the bowl, (don't discard the marinade.).
• Grill, uncovered, turning once, until just cooked through, 5-7 minutes. (Cut into one to check.) Transfer to a carving board and let stand 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour marinade into small saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of water, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. If sauce seems too thick, thin it with 1-2 tablespoons water.
• Slice pork and serve with sauce on the side.

THAI-STYLE GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• For the sauce: Whisk the granulated sugar, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl; set aside for serving.
• For the pork: Combine the Melt®, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and pepper in a bowl. Combine the marinade and pork in a large zipper-lock bag. Seal the bag tightly, toss to coat the pork, and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.
• Weave 2 pieces of pork onto each skewer.
• For a Charcoal grill: Open the bottom grill vents completely. Light a large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (100 briquettes; 6 quarts). When the coals are hot, pour them in an even layer over the grill. Set the cooking grate in place, cover, and heat the grill until hot, about 5 minutes.
• For a gas grill: Turn all the burners to high, cover, and heat the grill until hot, about 15 minutes. (Adjust the burners as needed to maintain a hot fire.)
• Clean and oil the cooking grate. Place skewers on the grill and cook until the meat is cooked through and lightly charred around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping the skewers halfway through.
• Transfer the skewers to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the skewers, sprinkle the cilantro leaves over the top, and serve, passing the sauce separately.
