Kahlua-Grilled Pork Tenderloins image

Recipe is from the Texas Tapestry cookbook, Junior League of Houston, Texas. Haven't tried this recipe yet, but since I love Kahlua -- I had to post it!

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup Kahlua
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin (2 tenderloins)
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley

Steps:

  • Combine Kahlua and butter in a small saucepan, bring to a boil. Boil 4 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Slice tenderloins crosswise at 1 1/2-inch intervals, cutting to, but not through, bottom. Sprinkle tenderloins with lemon-pepper seasoning and garlic salt; place in a large shallow dish or large heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag. Pour half of the Kahlua mixture over tenderloins. Cover dish or seal bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 4 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and chill remaining half of Kahlua mixture.
  • Remove tenderloins from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals (350 - 400 degrees) 18 - 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion of tenderloin registers 160 degrees, turning once and basting occasionally with remaining half of Kahlua mixture. Cover and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloins cook evenly, slice them in half lengthwise before grilling. This will also help the marinade penetrate the meat more deeply, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check for doneness by making a small cut into the center of the tenderloin. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, or cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • To prevent the pork from drying out, baste it with the marinade or a mixture of olive oil and water every few minutes while grilling. This will help keep the meat moist and juicy.
  • Let the pork tenderloins rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork tenderloins are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a bit of preparation, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
