Well, it may have been a L, but at least we ate well.

Cowpoke,

How do you open the tenderloin like that? Split it down the middle and pound it out, or do you in a sense fillet it in a roll?

I'd like to know this as well Cowpoke. Can you post your process here?

Amarillo and nyc- Yea, I just slit it down the middle, starting at the top, about 1/4" from the end, stopping about the same at the bottom.

Use a really sharp, finely-pointed knife. In the 2nd pic, the boning knife in the bottom left is what I used.

Make shallow cuts the full-length of the loin, using just the point of the blade. Repeat this gradually getting deeper each cut. As you work, use your thumb to open the cut, running it up and down spreading the slit apart.

Once you get halfway down, you can kinda angle the blade into each side of the meat, opening each side as you also cut down as well.

Then plastic wrap over it and gently pound it out to desired thickness.

Here's a video I found that gives you a pretty good idea of how it's done.

It's really pretty easy, just go slowly at first and you'll get the hang of it in no time.

Very cool, the video helps for sure.

Paul, buddy...I need a recipe. That looks amazing. You didn't eat well, you feasted.

Hos- The "recipe's" all in pic 1 essentially. The green stuff in the bowl is a basic olive oil-based pesto, minus the pinenuts and parmesan cheese. The bag at the top is sundried tomatoes.

We smoked it over applewood, but you could grill it or even do it in about a 400 degree oven for 15 mins, or until the internal temp is 140-145 for the pork, 165-170 for the chick breast.

The only other thing I did, was baste both the tenderloin and chicken near the end of the cook-time with a bottled bbq sauce I heated then dissolved about 3-4 Tbs of apple-butter jelly in.

Sweet. We make pork tenderloin about once a month. We going to have to experiment with it.

Thanks for the tip Cowpoke.

Why do middle aged men, and sorry if yo are not, but why do they always eat crap that is heart attack friendly?

In my late twenties I made a choice to give up most fast food and foods with sodium, etc. I eat a lot of grains and try my best to eat vegetables. Mostly eat pastas and soups/sandwiches, occasionally pizza.

:hotdog:

And then you'll get cancer and die. So all that "healthy" **** really didn't matter did it?

 

[5Stars]

I am sooo hungry right now!

Heart Clogger Sunday that looks mighty tasty!! Let me know if you need an apprentice..

 

[MonsterD]

Unless you make your own soups, process and cure your own deli meats, make and bake your own breads, pastas and pizza dough, or scrutinize every label of every ingredient of every item you shove in your puss, you ain't eating nearly as healthy as you think.

Sorry to break the news to ya there Jane Fonda!

Yeah I scrutinize all the labels of the stuff I buy. Mostly look at sodium/sugar and try to get the stuff with less ingredients. I get organic if possible.

Honestly don't know much about eating just meat, never have ate pure meat like most guys do , so can't tell you the difference between pork tenderloin and ham.

 

[MonsterD]

Did you also give up driving on highways, going out in sunlight, and everything else that increases your risk of death?

No, you only quit the most enjoyable parts of life? Oh, well, you've convinced me to follow your path.

enjoyable? lol food is just something to keep you alive. I laugh when women go crazy about eating and hear all the stories of people obsessed with it.

Lot of things out there can harm you , yes, but I can see why America has to be the most obese country, most stubborn.

Hey if you can take yourself out with heart disease before the cancer hits you then good job, more power to you. :

 

[MonsterD]

Because it tastes so amazingly good and you only get to go around once. I'd go crazy on your diet. Glad it works for you though.

Works well, I have weighed the same for over 11 years now.

Food is just something we eat and sex is just something used to procreate.

Whatever floats your boat. Enjoy your dull, miserable life.

Dude, OMG, post the friggin recipe. This looks amazing!

My brother-in-law's first wife was fanatical about calories, fat content, etc. about food. I hated to go out to eat with them when he was married to her. Talk about a joyless soul.

One time we went out for Italian. I forget what I ordered but she wanted to lecture me on how unhealthy my meal was. I finally got fed up with her. I said, "the only difference between you and me is in 50 years we're both going to be dying. You'll wonder why and then you will realize the only difference between us is that I ate better."

One time she made a vegetable lasagna with spinach. It was delicious. I tried to compliment her about it. It was more important to her to tell all of us that it was fat free than for us to tell her we actually liked it.

I was so glad when my brother-in-law divorced her. She had so many issues she was impossible to be around. She is so screwed up that her kids asked her to let their step Mom be their real Mom and she could be the step Mom. I would rather hug a Commanders Kicker than spend 2 minutes talking to her.
