Andi’s Pork Tenderloin

I made a plea to all my butches on Twitter for recipes. Andi, the doll, gave me two. Here’s one. The other is waiting for me to have a party or potluck to go to so I can make it. As for this one, I have included both Andi’s directions and my interpretation, thereof. I can tell you that even my 15-year-old niece and 12-year-old loved it.

Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Pork tenderloin [I bought about 2#]

  • 1 Large Bottle Franks Hot Sauce w/lime (or just regular)[I got regular]

  • The juice of 2 large limes. [I hate juicing things, so I bought the kind you get in the little plastic lime in the supermarket. It’s not fresh but it works.]

  • 1 Small bottle of honey (or whatever honey you use) [I used 1 cup of honey]

  • Fresh minced garlic to your tasting (I like a lot of garlic) [I used 1 Tablespoon]

    Supplies

  • Measuring spoons

  • Juicer (or else you can use lime juice and skip this)

  • 9 x 13 pan to marinate the porkloin

  • Grill (or broiler)

  • Grill utensils, if you’re gonna grill

    Andi’s Directions:

    Now with this there really isn’t much brain power needed, and if you’ve have a few drinks, no big deal. You can’t really screw this up.

    You take your pork tenderloin, your hot sauce, squeeze 2 limes, add as much honey as you want, I usually use 3 good squeezes of honey and I add in a shit load of fresh minced garlic. But that’s because I love fresh garlic, so use whatever and however much you want.

    You let that all marinate in the fridge for the afternoon and then you throw it onto the bbq low heat for about 6-8 minutes each side depending on how large of a tenderloin you bought.

    My interpretation

    1. Whisk together the Franks hot sauce, honey, lime juice and garlic in a large bowl.

    2. Put the pork tenderloin in the 9×13 pan and pour the hot sauce mixture over it. Put that into the refrigerator and let it marinate all afternoon. If you think of it, go in and spoon more sauce over the top. If you don’t think of it, don’t worry about it.

    3. When you’re ready to cook, heat the grill.

    4. Grill each side for about 6-8 minutes.

    5. If you forget to buy a gas thingie (aka propane, I guess) for your grill, you can cook this in the broiler. It’s at 500 degrees, so it takes about the same length of time to cook.

    6. You know it’s done when you put an instant-read thermometer in the pork and it says it’s at 150.

    7. If you don’t have a thermometer, cut open a piece and it should look only slightly raw.

    8. Take it out and let it rest for about 10 minutes & it will finish cooking. (Trust me on this okay?)
