Bonnies Chinese Barbecued Pork Tenderloin Recipes

CHAR SIU (CHINESE BBQ PORK)

Steps:

• Cut pork with the grain into strips 1 1/2- to 2-inches long; put into a large resealable plastic bag.
• Stir soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice wine, hoisin sauce, red food coloring or red bean curd (see Cook's Note), and Chinese five-spice powder together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until just combined and slightly warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the marinade into the bag with the pork, squeeze air from the bag, and seal. Turn bag a few times to coat all pork pieces in marinade.
• Marinate pork in refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove pork from marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Discard remaining marinade.
• Cook pork on preheated grill for 20 minutes. Put a small container of water onto the grill and continue cooking, turning the pork regularly, until cooked through, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

GRILLED CHINESE PORK TENDERLOIN

Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting., Drain and discard marinade. Grill pork, covered, over hot heat for 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.

BONNIE'S PORK TENDERLOINS WITH HONEY AND BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter in a pan large enough for the tenderloins. Add the honey. Season the tenderloins with salt and pepper to taste. Brown the tenderloins with a good sear, just like the picture. Be sure you don't burn the butter, watch it closely. Turn the tenderloins over and brown on both sides. Don't be afraid to let them get really brown, they will soften up as you bake them in the oven. This will take around 20 minutes.
• 2. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8 X 11 baking dish. Transfer the browned tenderloins to the dish, and all the honey, butter drippings, pour over the top of the tenderloins. Bake in the oven around 30 to 40 minutes until meat is no longer pink in the center. Some may prefer it slightly rare.
• 3. Remove the tenderloins to a platter and allow to rest tented with foil for at least 5 minutes. While doing that, transfer drippings from the baking dish back to the skillet and reduce for a glaze.
• 4. To serve, slice tenderloin 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick and drizzle glaze over the tenderloins and serve.
