Preparing Pork Tenderloin

Pork Tenderloin is a delicious & lean cut of meat you can cook and prepare several ways. Before you start you need to remove the silver skin from the pork which is my least favourite job and one I pass off to hubby! Once it’s off, then toss it in your marinade until ready to grill.

Pan fry, roasting, Instant Pot, slow cooker, smoking, and grilling are all ways you can cook pork tenderloin.

What is Hoisin Sauce

Essentially it’s an Asian barbecue sauce used in all kinds of dishes and marinades. It’s fragrant, pungent and boasts loads of flavour. You will often see it on tables as a condiment in Vietnamese or Chinese restaurants.

It’s delicious with chicken too like in this recipe: Sticky Hoisin Orange Chicken.

PRO TIPS

• Buy the family pack of tenderloins, cook two and freeze two. Remove the silver skin before freezing making it quick and easy when you want to defrost and marinate.
• Marinade the night before you want to cook the pork. The longer it can marinade, the stronger the flavour.
• In the last six years the internal temperature for cooking pork has changed. Alberta Health Services advises cooking to 71°C (160°F).
• Always tent your meat when it comes off the grill and let rest at least 10 minutes.
• I always marinate and grill two tenderloins. Leftovers are delicious in subs.
