Javanese Pork Tenderloin image

A wonderfully moist barbecued pork with an Asian kick! Although this pork needs to be started 2 days ahead of serving, the recipe is very easy and so worth the wait! Wonderful served with udon noodles dressed with sesame oil and soy sauce.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup kosher salt
¼ cup brown sugar
3 cups warm water
2 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloins
½ cup chunky peanut butter
¼ cup sake
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons Thai chili paste
2 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, finely chopped
¼ cup finely chopped green onions
¼ cup minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Dissolve the salt and brown sugar in 1/4 cup warm water. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag with remaining 2 3/4 cups water. Place pork in bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
  • In a small, microwavable bowl, combine peanut butter, sake, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, peanut oil, chili paste, chili sauce, garlic, ginger root, green onions, and cilantro. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt peanut butter; mix thoroughly.
  • Reserve 1/2 to 3/4 cup of this peanut sauce to serve as a sauce for the cooked meat; refrigerate until ready to use. Pour remaining sauce into a resealable plastic bag. Remove pork from brine; discard brine. Rinse pork, pat dry, and place in the bag with the peanut sauce marinade. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat. Take pork out of peanut sauce marinade; let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Pour marinade in small saucepan. Heat to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. If marinade gets too thick, add a little milk to thin.
  • Lightly oil grill grate, and arrange tenderloins on grill. When pork reaches 125 degrees F (50 degrees C), baste with the boiled marinade. Watch pork carefully after basting so that it doesn't burn. Use a bbq spatula to roll the pork around while cooking. Grill pork tenderloins until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C); this should take about 15 minutes. Pull off the grill, and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing into thin rounds.
  • Warm the reserved sauce in the microwave, and place a dollop of the sauce on each plate. Place pork slices on top of sauce to serve.

This recipe was a disappointment. The pork was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less brown sugar next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use half the amount of chili peppers.
