Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Fried Green Beans


So tonight's supper was pretty quick and easy. Also really really tasty. I used a three ingredient recipe from my Real Simple magazine. The recipe is as follows.


Easy Grilled Pork Tenderloin
1 pound pork tenderloin
Paula Dean's House Blend (Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder)
1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar


Mix Worcestershire sauce with brown sugar.
Season tenderloin with spice blend.
Grill pork on Medium-High heat until it reaches 150 degrees. (about 20 minutes)
Last five minutes of grilling slather on the sauce mix.
Let stand at least five minutes.


This recipe was quick and simple, but not the most flavorful. Could have used another dimension to it, but overall not bad.

Fried Green Beans (serves 2)
1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup flour
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 cup beer
Sunflower Oil (for frying)

Heat oil in pan. Mix flour, chili powder, cayenne, salt and pepper together in small bowl. Add beer and mix. In batches, dredge green beans in beer mixture. Fry battered Green beans for about 3 minutes a piece. Put on paper-towel lined baking sheet to drain.

Chili dipping sauce
2 Tbsp. mayo
1 Tbsp. sweet chili sauce
1 tsp. Siracha sauce

Mix three ingredients together. Salt to taste

These green beans are definitely addicting. Could have eaten a lot more. I think I will use the beer batter to fry more food (I'm thinking pickles!).
