    Pork Tenderloin Question

    Good Morning, Guys and Gals! I've got a pork tenderloin marinating in the fridge that I am planning to cook this evening. I think it is roughly 2 to 2.5 lbs. I found a recipe where the lady marinates it with Apricot preserves, peanut butter, orange juice, lime juice, and some other ingredients. Her instructions are, and I'm guessing she probably uses gas here, but to crank the grill to high heat, and cook for five minutes. She then flips it and cooks it for another 6 minutes. Finally she kills the heat, and continues to cook for another five minutes, and says this should get you to roughly 145 degree.

    How would you all recommend doing it on kamado? Crank it and cook per her instructions over the direct flame (kind of worried the sugars might burn)? Cook it per her instructions but over indirect, and then do a slight sear at the end? Or would you try low and slow for a couple hours?

    Looking forward to all of the great advice and feedback! Love being a member here. Was browsing another forum the other day and people kept taking jabs at each other. Makes me glad to spend a little more to hang out with a classier set of folk .

    It's easy to adjust the temp on a gasser, but not so much on a kamado because the ceramic retains heat. If I was using a kamado, I'd probably go low and slow with a reverse sear.

      That’s how I cook my pork tenderloins usually. Low and slow then reverse sear

      I’ve also cut medallions, pounded them out thin and then quick seared each side on my griddle but that’s when I’ve prepped them simply with just salt and pepper.

    That crazy marinade alone would give me pause, much less the described method of cooking. My advice is to find a better recipe, tons of them in the pork channel.

      Hahahaha, that is fair. I'm a sucker for PB&J, so I'll let you know how it goes.

      It does sound like a scary concoction, Ground Chuck , but sometimes weird combos produce great results. And sometimes not. I'll be curious to read the result. Have fun with that cook.

    Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorites. I'd go indirect heat @350*-400* and take it to 140*-145*Max. Season or Marinate as you wish. There again I'd just season it before grilling and melt some Apple Jelly and mix with BBQ Sauce about 50/50 and drizzle over sliced pork. Just don't go higher than 145*.

      Thank you, Skip!! Think that is what I'm going to do

      I agree with Skip and might even be more strict and say don't go above 140. Tented while you make your sauce it will go up another 5 degrees which we always forget.
