Key Takeaways
Mastering the Grill with the Big Green Egg
If you’re new to the grilling world, fear not! With a few handy tips and tricks, you’ll become a grill master in no time. Here are some pointers to keep in mind:
- Stock up on charcoal for your Big Green Egg before you start.
- If your tenderloin isn’t pre-seasoned, use a dry-rub seasoning or marinade for maximum flavor.
- Ensure food safety by checking the internal temperature of the thickest part of the meat.
Now that you’re equipped with the basics, let’s dive into the process of grilling a perfect pork tenderloin.
Grilling the Perfect Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- Two packs of Hatfield® Tuscan Herb Pork Tenderloin or Hatfield® Honey Garlic Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin.
Steps
- Before grilling, make sure your grill grate is clean. Prevent sticking by adding olive oil to the cooking grate.
- Fire up your Big Green Egg by setting it up for direct cooking. Add a natural lump of charcoal to the firebox, light it, and place the cooking grid. Open the top and bottom vents, allowing your Big Green Egg to reach the desired temperature of high heat (around 350°F).
- Prepare your pork tenderloin by removing the silver skin. Using a sharp fish filet knife, carefully peel off any unnecessary sections of the meat.
- Now it’s time to start cooking. Place the pork tenderloin on the grill, close the lid, and use the 7-6-5 method. Grill undisturbed for seven minutes, then flip and grill for an additional six minutes. Finally, shut the vents of your Big Green Egg grill completely and let the pork cook with the lid closed for the remaining five minutes.
- Confirm the internal temperature of the meat. Make sure the thickest part of the tenderloin reaches 145°F to ensure it’s perfectly cooked and safe to eat.
- Allow your freshly grilled pork to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into thick, juicy slices.
- Serve your masterpiece and enjoy the savory goodness!
