Why This Recipe Works
Pork tenderloin has a tendency to cook up dry and bland. To keep this lean cut juicy and flavorful, we created a recipe for Plum-Glazed Grilled Pork Tenderloin that kept the pork lean and juicy with a stay on the grill, and spiced it with the potent flavors of ginger, garlic, and lime. Using a rasp-style grater to grate the ginger in our recipe avoided any stringiness. Its fine rasp pulverized the ginger, releasing all of its flavorful juices without any stringy segments. And we sprinkled the garlic clove with just a dash of salt kept it from sticking to the knife as we minced it.
