Ace Kickstart® Blackened Pork Tenderloin

Ace Kickstart® Blackened Pork Tenderloin

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE BLACKENED TENDERLOIN:

• 2 pounds pork tenderloin medallions or strips (country-style ribs), thin-cut
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil
• Ace Kickstart®

LET’S GET COOKING

1. We cooked this recipe on a Blackstone, but you can cook it on any grill or a thick-bottomed skillet on the stovetop inside.   Preheat your cooking surface to high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, add about a teaspoon of avocado oil to the dried pork and mix.  The goal is to evenly coat the oil super thin across the surface of the pork.  Lay the pork out on a cookie sheet and sprinkle generously with Ace Kickstart®, then use tongs to flip them and do the other side.
3. When your cooking surface is ready, add the pork and cover. Generally, I would say to check in 5-minute increments to peek at the bottom (and poke with a thermometer toward the end) since each cooking surface cooks differently, and the end cook time will vary with the thickness of the pork tenderloin.
4. Flip around 10 mins or when you peek at the bottom and think it’s time to flip.
5. Your Ace Kickstart Blackened Pork Tenderloin is finished when it’s 165°F in the center of the thickest part and running clear liquids when you poke it.
