Discussion Thread -> **Special**"2016 Pork Tenderloin Master!" Throwdown (Entry & Discussion Thread)

Oops. New to this and didn't realize there was masters or regular throw downs. Only thing I had seen linked was the rules for the regular ones. I also hadn't been sure on the raw versus marinated which is why I did both.
 
For my first official entry into a BBQ throwdown I give you the Irish Coffee Pork Tenderloin.

Cook thread can be found here.

Was happy with it, certainly room for improvement, but tasted damn fine!

I don't see any pictures for your entry, Mike. I even tried editing your post to see if I could fix the links. There's nothing there? Can you try to post your entry again, see if you can get it to work?

If you need help with posting pictures, there's a handy how to guide in the tech section.

Thanks!
 
here is my entry

done


I hope there isn't too much on the plate to qualify

I was kinda wondering the same thing, by the rules it sounds like the bed of rice is okay, but the asparagus puts it into question?

I don't know, guess it is up to the voters.

Looks mighty good though!:clap2:

Here's my official entry for the Pork Tenderloin Master TD. I hope I fulfilled the requirements correctly...

For the whole cook, you can look here:

Anyways, this is a bacon-wrapped stuffed pork tenderloin roll. I butterflied two pork tenderloins, pounded them down, and arranged them to make a square, which I then laid on top of a previously prepared bacon-weave. The stuffing consisted of cranberries, kale, jalapeño, and a mushroom pate. The mushroom pate wasn't too pretty to look at by itself, so here is one of the more appetizing raw shots that I got before the pate went on...

After this was all rolled up using saran wrap, I tied it up in a butcher's knot thinking that there was no way to get this thing cooked on the grill without it falling apart otherwise. Here's a shot of it on the grill after about 3 hours of mostly indirect heat and constant turning and tempering on and off the grill...

I pulled it off at an internal temp of 135F. It smelled real good with the bacon rendering all over the outside of it and the butter rendering out of the mushroom pate from the inside. I started slicing and omg...perfect! Here's the final cooked shot...
