  • The “7-6-5” Method: Foolproof Grilled Pork Tenderloin

    The “7-6-5” Method: Foolproof Grilled Pork Tenderloin

    A simple way to remember appropriate grilling times for pork tenderloin from this article in Fine Cooking (full recipe here).

    “The “7-6-5” method for grilling pork tenderloin refers to the amount of time each side gets, with the burners on high heat: seven minutes on the first side, six minutes on the second side, and then five minutes with the grill turned off and the lid closed. The method is so reliable that I can set a timer and go about my business.“

    We tested the method on the Coyote 34 inch C-Series Grill and the tenderloin came out great.

    Every time we turned the pork, we poured beer over the tenderloin. Just enough to keep it moist.

    And before the last 5 minutes of grilling, we rolled the tenderloin in pan of a glaze made from 1 can of cranberry sauce, ¾ cup of strawberry preserves, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper.

    Total prep and grilling time: 25 minutes. The “7-6-5” Method is definitely a good rule of thumb for low stress grilling for perfectly cooked pork tenderloin!

  • Baby Back Ribs with a Colorado Twist

    Baby Back Ribs with a Colorado Twist

    Colorado, the 38th state to join the Union in 1876, encompasses most of the Southern Rocky Mountains and holds the spotlight in this week’s 50 States / 50 Grill Recipes / 50 Beers feature.

    Rocky Mountains

    Of course, Colorado is also home to some of the nation’s most esteemed beers, including many by the legendary Golden-based brewer Coors, and many by innovative and influential craft brewers, including New Belgium Brewing of Fort Collins.

    Here is a recipe from Tony’s Market that pulls together the flagship brew by New Belgium, Fat Tire, to create the barbecue sauce for a backyard grilling classic, Baby Back Ribs.

    Use the “slow and low” indirect grilling method, that is, with one hot zone and one cool zone, and close the lid of the grill to cook the ribs at a temperature of around 300 degrees for 60-90 minutes.

    See the complete recipe here and pull together:

    • 1-2 racks baby back ribs
    • your favorite prepared BBQ seasoning rub

    Fat Tire BBQ Sauce:

    • 1 Fat Tire beer
    • ¼-cup chile sauce
    • 2 TBS Sundried tomato paste
    • 3 TBS brown sugar
    • 1 tsp Cajun or other southwestern seasoning
    • ¾-1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
    • ¼ tsp Coleman’s Mustard
    • ¼ tsp hot sauce

    And grab a six pack of the Fat Tire because you and your grilling assistants will need refreshment for the 60-90 minutes of low and slow grilling on your Coyote Grill.

    Cheers and happy grilling!

    Bring some Hawaiian pomaika’i (good luck) to your outdoor kitchen by trying this recipe for Hawaiian Pork Chops. Grilling pineapple on the grill caramelizes the sugars, creating a golden brown color and an unforgettable intensity of flavor.

    Pair it with Kona Brewing Company’s Koko Brown Ale (beer brewed with toasted coconut) and you’ve got a little Hawaii in your backyard without the long plane flight…

    Å’kålè ma’luna (according to this article that means “cheers” in Hawaiian!)
