This is actually one of the better food threads I've seen in a while. The stuff ya'll mentioned sounds really good.


It is making me want to try a really good marinade and not a store bought version of crap.

Do you pound them a little thinner and pannee them in bread crumbs? If so I am all about that preperation.


I cut into 1/4" medallions and put them in some seasoned flour. Mix up a couple of fresh yard eggs (dad has chickens), two cups of water and one pack of Oak Grove spicy chicken fry. Take the pork from the flour and put into the mixture. Open a couple of more bags of Oak Grove and put in battering container. Remove medallions from the egg wash mix and throw into battering container. Shake it up real good. Fry in peanut oil at 375 for about 5 minutes. Delicious.

Now you are talking. A little Sirachi for the marinade? If so count me in. The world's best hot sauce.


I actually used a Thai chili paste...I thought about using some of the sauce you're talking about but I get carried away with that stuff because it's so awesome.

Seriously...the stuff I made tonight was really good

It was almost effortless as well. I'll try to list what I did in a little more detail with some rough quantities

Marinade:
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons or so chili paste
tablespoon lemon juice
tablespoon brown sugar
couple dashes garlic powder

Seasoning the pork: I patted it dry with paper towels before rubbing on an insane amount of fresh coarse black pepper. Then I took about a tablespoon of brown sugar and crumbled it on and rolled it around until it was spread out pretty evenly. Only marinated for about 15 minutes.

Cooking: wrap with foil and put in the oven at 450 for 25 minutes

So easy...

I served it with some risotto I made. It came out good but next time I think I'll just keep it simple with regular old long grain rice.

Yes it is so awesome tasting. Makes Tabasco taste like shite. FWIW, I never thought I would say that.

I don't care for tobasco sauce

Now tobasco pepper jelly on the other hand is pretty good.

I love getting a good bowl of pho and putting a ton of red chili sauce in it. Nothing better.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that pork tenderloins do way better being cooked simply, and then finished in a sauce instead of marinating?

I'm sure someone else agrees with you

FWIW when I do a marinade for tenderloins it's usually just enough liquid to lightly coat the outside and I only marinade for a few minutes then it just becomes part of the gravy.

Here's what I have been doing with these lately:
Make a spice rub of allspice, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, caynenne, salt and sugar and rub all over.
Let it sit for 20 minutes, the brown in a skillet on all sides, then pop into a 350 oven for 15 minutes, flipping after 7 minutes.
Take out and let rest at least ten minutes and cut into medallions... perfect medium rare.

Nonsense. It's succulent and juicy just like beef tenderloin.

That is an old common belief, but with advances in feed and prep, there hasn't been a case of trichinosis in the US since the 30s or 40s.

OK...I've never really thought it was terrible when you cook it all the way though myself

The one I cooked last night had a slight bit of pink in the center but the outsides that were well done were just as tasty

It used to be like that, but like the other poster said, with the food quality standards now, you can cook pork "to temperature."
