Ingredients:
- 2 tenderloins (pork)
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon rind (or lemongrass)
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth (divided)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of chicken broth with lime juice, fish sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, and fresh lemon rind (or lemongrass), ensuring a well-combined mixture.
-
Marinate the Tenderloins:
- Place the pork tenderloins in a sealable plastic bag and pour the prepared marinade over them, ensuring the meat is thoroughly coated.
-
Marinate Overnight:
- Seal the bag securely and marinate the pork overnight in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse into the meat.
-
Preheat the Grill or Oven:
- Preheat the barbecue grill to medium heat, or preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s ready for cooking.
-
Barbecue or Roast the Pork:
- Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and place them on the preheated barbecue grill or in a roasting pan for the oven.
- Barbecue the pork over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 25 to 35 minutes, or roast in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes until cooked through, with a golden brown exterior and juicy interior.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- While the pork is cooking, strain the remaining marinade into a saucepan, discarding any solids.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of chicken broth to the reserved marinade in the saucepan and bring it to a boil.
-
Final Steps:
- Once the marinade comes to a boil, let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to intensify.
- Remove the pork from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin, succulent slices.
- Serve the sliced pork tenderloins with the prepared marinade sauce, drizzling it over the meat for an extra burst of flavor.
