Ingredients
-
¼ cup Moore's Teriyaki Marinade
-
1-2 lbs pork tenderloin
-
1 can pineapple with juice
-
½ tsp red pepper flakes
-
4 cups cooked rice
Instructions
-
Mix juice from pineapple with Moore's Teriyaki Marinade.
-
Using flavor injector, inject about half of the liquid mixture into the pork tenderloin.
-
Reserve remaining liquid for later use.
-
Refrigerate injected tenderloin for an hour or two before grilling.
-
When grilling, place tenderloin over low heat, as far from direct heat source as possible, so as not to burn the outside before the center is done.
-
Turn frequently and cook slowly until pork reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees (about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, depending on your grill).
-
While meat is grilling, puree remaining liquid mixture with red pepper flakes and about ½ of the pineapple from the can.
-
Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Use ½ of this puree as a glaze during the last 15 minutes of grilling.
-
Retain the other half.
-
Once tenderloin reaches 155 degrees, remove from the heat and allow residual heat to complete the cooking process before slicing (10-15 minutes).
-
Serve tenderloin in thin slices, over ½ cup cooked rice.
-
Garnish with reserved glaze and remaining pineapple.
