Grilled Asian Pork Tenderloin With Peanut Sauce

---

Awesome recipe, yummy sauce! This is from the newest fine cooking magazine, (july 2007). We were having cocktails at some friends' house this afternoon, and we couldn't wait to make it, so went to the store and bought the ingredients we didn't have. We didn't have any sides, (besides the cocktails, lol), we just picked at it and enjoyed! We didn't have time today, but next time we will marinate it longer, a few hours in the fridge for even more flavor! try this! (cook time does not reflect marinating time.)

Steps

---

In large bowl , whisk the coconut milk , peanut butter , soy sauce , lime juice , brown sugar , garlic and coriander to make a smooth sauce.

---

Trim the pork of excess fat and silverskin.

---

Butterfly the tenderloins by splitting each one lengthwise almost but not quite all the way through , so the halves remain attached.

---

Open each tenderloin like a book , cover with plastic wrap , and pound to an even 1 / 2 inch thickness.

---

Place the pork loins in a bowl with marinade and turn to coat.

---

Let marinate 10-20 minutes ,.

---

While pork marinates , heat gas grill on high , clean and oil grates.

---

Remove tenderloins from marinade , letting excess marinade drip back into the bowl ,.

---

Grill , uncovered , turning once , until just cooked through , 5-7 minutes.

---

Transfer to a carving board and let stand 5 minutes.

---

Meanwhile , pour marinade into small saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of water , bring to boil , reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

---

If sauce seems too thick , thin it with 1-2 tablespoon.
