Alton Brown's Grilled Pork Tenderloin recipe, from Good Eats on Food Network, stays moist thanks to hours of soaking in a sweet and sharp lime-based marinade.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole pork tenderloin, approximately 1 pound
1 lime, zest finely grated
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 chipotle chile pepper in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin.
  • Place the lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and garlic powder in a small, lidded jar and shake to combine. Pour half of the marinade mixture into a 1-gallon resealable bag, add the chipotle pepper, and move around to combine. Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible and place in a container to catch any leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, rotating the bag halfway through the time. Place the remaining marinade in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the bag and allow to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill. Remove the reserved marinade from the refrigerator.
  • Fill a large chimney starter with natural lump charcoal and light. Once the charcoal is ashy and white, approximately 30 minutes, dump the hot charcoal onto the lowest grate of the grill and spread into an even layer using extra-long tongs. Place the cooking grate back on the grill and cover with the lid; heat the grate to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place in the center of grate. Discard bag with marinade. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the grill and place on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil folded at the edges to create a basket, and pour on the reserved marinade. Wrap tightly and rest for 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

COMBINE HONEY, LIME, AND CHIPOTLE FOR THE PERFECT PORK TENDERLOIN



Combine Honey, Lime, and Chipotle for the Perfect Pork Tenderloin image

Put the orange juice, lime juice, zest, honey, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chipotles and adobo in a blender or large food processor, and pulse a few

Provided by Ben Rayl

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup orange juice, fresh squeezed
¼ cup lime juice, fresh squeezed
zest from 1 lime
¼ cup honey
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1½ tsp ground cumin
2 tsp dried oregano
1 chipotle chile, chopped
1 Tbsp adobo sauce, from canned chipotles
1 (1-lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the orange juice, lime juice, zest, honey, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chipotles and adobo in a blender or large food processor, and pulse a few times to make sure it's well blended. Put the tenderloin in a large zip lock bag and pour in about half of the marinade. Make sure the pork is completely surrounded by marinade by removing as much air as possible from the bag, then put it in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, up to 24. Put the remaining marinade in a sealed container in the fridge. Remove the tenderloin and reserved marinade about 30 minutes before you're ready to cook it and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 425°F (225°C). Heat the oil in a cast iron (or oven safe) skillet over medium high heat. Place the tenderloin in the skillet and sear on all sides; about 2 - 3 minutes per side, then place the skillet in the oven and continue to roast the tenderloin for about 15 more minutes. Remove the tenderloin from the skillet to a plate, and cover with a foil tent while you make the sauce. Put the skillet (with juices in it) back over a high flame, and pour in the reserved marinade. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens. After letting the tenderloin rest for about 10 minutes under the foil, place it on a cutting board and slice into medallions. Serve topped with the sauce and sprinkled with chopped cilantro.

Chipotle Lime Pork Tenderloin a la Alton Brown image

An Alton Brown inspired pork tenderloin infused with a chipotle lime marinade that will leave them asking for more. Just follow these easy step by step photo instructions.

Provided by Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan

Categories     Main Course

Time 6h40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pork tenderloin
1/2 cup lime juice
2-4 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Penzy Chipotle powder

Steps:

  • Trim the pork tenderloin and remove the silverskin.
  • Combine spices with lime juice and honey. Mix well. The Tupperware mixer works well here.
  • Add half the mixture to a 1 gallon Ziploc, add the tenderloin, remove as much air as possible. Seal and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. But up to 24 hours is fine.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator and allow to rest at room temp for 30 minutes. Clean and oil grates. Preheat grill to a surface temperature of about 450°. That is medium on my grill which is hot. Most grills will be medium-high.
  • Place over direct heat. Cook with a closed lid. Rotate the tenderloin 1/3 every 5 minutes for about 20-25 minutes until an internal temperature of 140°. Please never cook by time alone. Use an instant-read thermometer, please.
  • Make an aluminum foil "boat." Add reserved marinade to the foil boat and moved tenderloin to the boat. Seal the foil tightly and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. FYI, I checked the temp at this point, and it was 151°.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork tenderloin. Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound and has a uniform thickness.
  • Prepare the marinade ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and penetrate the pork.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

This pork tenderloin with lime and chipotle is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade infuses the pork with flavor, and the chipotle sauce adds a smoky and spicy kick. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or grilled vegetables.
