    True to my word

    P1010486Last time I wrote about my grill I said I purchased it because I was watched Good Eats. Now I’ve never actually made anything I’ve watched on TV, so this was going to be the first time and what I was making was the Grilled Pork Tenderloin.

    Yesterday I went to the local QFC and picked up the following:

    • 1 whole pork tenderloin, approximately 1 pound
    • 1 lime, zest finely grated
    • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 chipotle chili pepper in adobo sauce
    • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

    One reason I have never bothered following TV show recipes is that they usually have crazy things in the list of ingredients. This was no exception, trying to find chipotle pepper in adobo sauce as a nightmare. I didn’t even know where to look in the store. After about 20 minutes of going up and down the same aisles 20 times I finally found the final ingredient. The recipe instructions are up here so I won’t bore you with any more details, other than 24 hours later I was ready to grill.

    12 minutes later and the pork was ready. Put in some final marinade and cook the rest of the meal and then slice up. A pretty simple dinner.

    All in all, it turned out great, Yum Yum. Definitely something I will be having again. Even the wife loved it!
