“Pork tenderloin on the barbecue has never been so tender or simple. I found this recipe in Gourmet magazine and didn't like the carmelizing process, so I just made it my own marinade. And my brother's tips on grilling tenderloin made it so easy!”

Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 pork tenderloin
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 1⁄3 cup green onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon 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.
