Author: 
Recipe type: Direct heat
Serves: 4 sandwiches
 
Ingredients
  • For the pork:
  • 1½ to 2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  •  -
  • For the glaze:
  • ¼ cup sriracha sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into four pieces
  •  -
  • For the sandwich:
  • Petite baguettes (7-inches) or cut 2 baguettes into serving sizes
  • Soy Sauce Compound Butter (recipe follows)
  • Sliced cucumbers
  • Sliced jalapeño chilies
  • Cilantro sprigs
Instructions
  1. Set up grill for direct grilling over high heat. Brush and oil grates before cooking.
  2. Season pork tenderloin with salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper and set aside at room temperature while you make the sauce.
  3. In a small sauce pan, whisk together the sriracha sauce, honey, and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in the lime juice and whisk in the butter one piece at a time until incorporated into the sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Grill the tenderloin(s) for about 5 to 7 minutes per side (there are four sides) or until the internal temperature hits 145°F. Brush the tenderloin liberally and often for the last couple minutes of cook time. Allow the meat to rest 5 minutes before slicing. You can also wait to slice later at room temperature or even cook the day before if you want to take on a picnic!
  5. For sandwich: split open baguettes (toast if desired) and slather both sides with soy sauce butter. Layer with cucumbers, sliced pork, jalapeños, a few sprigs of cilantro, and top with pickled daikon and carrots (the best part!).
