The Best Grilled Pork Tenderloin - Memphis Style

BBQ at its absolute tastiness. This is the best grill pork tenderloin... period.  Moist, tender and the most wonderful spicy taste.

Memphis BBQ Pork Tenderloin is the most common recipe people claim as their all time favorite from my site. It had a special spot on my site for a year and a half as "My One Must Try Recipe". And I called it the best meal I had ever grilled at the time and it probably still is. It really is that good.

Crock Pot Pulled Pork Loin

Use it for BBQ, use it for Mexican or anywhere you wand a moist and tasty shredded pork. Healthy and low fat "pulled" pork from a pork loin using a slow cooker. An almost no work recipe.

I love pork but generally pork loin is way too lean for shredding but cooking it in a spiced up braising liquid and then adding some back for moisture will get you what you want. I modified my own oven based shredded pork loin recipe. I'm giving you two options.  One for BBQ and one for Mexican.

Pulled Pork on a Gas Grill - Not That Hard

How to cook pulled pork on a gas grill? Not all of us have smokers. There are a lot of gas grills out there. Shouldn't we have pulled pork too. I say yes. Pulled pork for all... and with a little planning it is not that hard. Just plan enough time.

When I first tied this several years ago and it came out OK but really was somewhat under cooked. I only had 8 hours and it wasn't enough. So lesson learned. I did a test cooking the day before this cooking with ribs and balanced the grill temp to about 250. Having experimented with the ribs, I was ready to go the next morning.

Slow Grilled Bone In Country Style Pork Ribs

Grilled slow for that fall apart tenderness of pulled pork but I don't need to cook a huge chunk of meat.

This is "the other" country style pork ribs to me. I frequently do boneless country style ribs and this is a totally different cut. The boneless is the tail end of a pork loin. It is very lean and cooks quick. This is cut from the pork shoulder  (also called "Boston Butt") and has cuts of bone from the scapula. This meat is not lean but is variable because different muscles are included but much of it is like the Boston butt.

Pecan Crusted Pork Tenderloin

A nutty coating with a hint of brown sugar on a fork tender pork tenderloin. There's nothing to say other than yummy good.

I'm always on the look out for a good pork tenderloin and to my surprise I have a Food Network Paula Deen recipe as the inspiration recipe. Not that I'm surprised that Paula has a wonderful recipe but that IT HAS NO BUTTER.  But it has pecans, brown sugar plus a little heat and that is more than enough to do the job.

Chipotle Lime Grilled Pork Tenderloin - My Take

The Tale of Two Post. The movie will be out before the holidays. The first post (see previous post) is a slightly modified Alton Brown recipe. So, why do a second post you ask. Some things bothered me. First, even though I let it marinade for 24 hours, I felt most of the taste came in the last 10 minutes. Second, too much time. Third, the honey seemed ummm... too much honey and hard to mix. I wanted to try brown sugar.

Grilled BBQ Pork Chops

It's "clean out the freezer" week and a great tasting health barbequed pork chop is the result.

Start with two slices of boneless pork loin cut about 1 inch thick. Brine in a brown sugar/salt solution to prevent that "dry" pork thing. Baste with your favorite BBQ sauce for just the right flavor. Cook over high heat for speed but not so much to dry out. And you get moist, tender, tasty and easy - all in a low fat meal.
