Delighted by my first couple attempts at Pork tendy – it's a really cheap cut of meat but cooks fast, stays tender and absorbs flavour so quick.
Method in comments but I'm no expert.

Pork Tenderloin, £4.10 from Sainsburys Supermarket.
Garlic salt and pepper rub with olive oil 10 min before cooking. Lumpwood Charcoal from some shit brand, and a chunk of pork smoking wood from Weber.
Grey coals in a chimney scooped into one half of bbq with a lump of pork smoking wood, and meat slapped on direct, seared on all sides. Rolled onto indirect half and lid on for 30 mins.
Basted a teriyaki style sauce on, in the last 5.
Was as tender and flavorful as a high quality cut cooked low and slow. Pork tendy is a cheat code!

It’s also surprisingly a very healthy cut of meat! Like up there with chicken breast on the scale

Awesome
Question: Is that tabletop grill on a plastic table?

Love me some pork tenderloin. Just did two on my kettle earlier with seasoning salt & harissa.
Given the price to weight ratio its my go to for a cheap BBQ.

My cheat code is boneless chicken thighs. No matter what you do, they are always tender and juicy and very cheap. It’s been my go-to for bulk grilling.
Also, a pack of chicken thighs in a plastic bag overnight with your favorite marinade is absolutely the easiest and fastest cook for get togethers.

Around here you can get them for 5.00US on sale. I use the sous vide method and leave them in the plastic if they are pre-seasoned. Then finish them with a cooking torch. Easy and totally controllable.

Yea, cheat code is chicken thighs. Can’t mess them up. I like them skin off, glazed with whatever you like or just some salt and smoke.
Tenderloins are great, so are pork chops. Take em to 140~145 and finish with a hot sear in a pan, drizzle a sauce if you like, serve. Tender and loads of flavor. Quick smoke too.

Alton Brown did an episode of “Good Eats” some years ago in which he demonstrated a method of grilling a pork tenderloin by rotating it 120 degrees (along its axis) every 90 seconds. I did that once and have every time since. I cook to an internal temp of 145ish. Perfect.

I just started grilling these things.
This will be the summer of pork tenderloin.

My cheat code is thick cut pork chops, brined then cooked just like you would a ribeye.

And they’re very versatile, we always try different seasonings and marinades. Best one thus far: My wife butterflied one then flattened with a tenderizer mallet, covered in a thin layer of cream cheese, pesto, bacon, and red bell pepper. Rolled it up, tied in some cooking twine, smoked and seared until done. It was amazing lol.
