So I had one more cedar plank left and I wanted to cook a pork tenderloin on it. Now for those of you that like to change up pork tenderloin and have a cedar plank I will assure you this is by far one of the easiest meals and Jen’s response from this, “Best damn tenderloin you ever made.”

Let’s cook!

Planked Pork Tenderloin With Asian Style BBQ Sauce

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 large garlic cloves, crushed

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger

red pepper flakes to taste

pork tenderloins, trimmed

1 cedar plank, soaked in water

In a small sauce pan combine the above ingredients minus the tenderloins and plank.

Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Set aside 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving.

In a large zip lock bag add the remaining sauce and tenderloins and let this marinate for 15 – 30 minutes.

While pork is marinating, preheat grill to medium-low heat to about 350 degrees. Place the soaked plank on the grill.

Close the lid, and allow to heat for 3 minutes. Flip plank and place pork on heated side of the plank.

Grill with lid close for 15 – 20 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal tempature of 150 degrees. Remove pork from grill. Tent pork loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Slice and serve with reserved sauce. For this meal I added snow peas as our veggie. Here is the final plating:

Cooking At Guy’s Weekend Menu

So I am back from guy’s weekend and man did we eat! I find it funny that when guys get together and cook, it’s all about meat and very little about veggies. As promised in my post from Friday here are the best damn ribs you will ever have. My brother gave me this recipe and I changed it up from what he provided –you can do that too–adding or removing ingredients to suit your taste is one of the great things about cooking.

Best Damn Ribs:

2 cups light brown sugar

4 tablespoons onion powder

1 tablespoon dry mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 can tomato sauce

1/2 cup apple vinegar

5 teaspoons Tabasco sauce

Mix all the ingredients in a sauce pan.

Now bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 mins.

I cooked one rack of ribs but this sauce is enough for 4-5 racks of ribs. So here is how to do the ribs.

Cook plain ribs for 15 minutes in the oven at 500 degrees.

Cool the oven to 350 degrees and flip the ribs over and brush on the sauce. You will flip and add more sauce every 15-20 minutes–total time in the oven should be about 1.5 hours, so about 6-8 flips.

For added flavor you can caramelize the ribs by putting them on the grill for about 3 minutes on each side which I always do.

And now for the plating:

Hey it’s guy weekend cooking, so I didn’t have to worry about how the food looked on the plate.

Tonight Jen and I are having a few of our friends over for dinner so tomorrow I will post the menu/recipe-be sure to check back!

Happy Cooking!
