Bhan Thai is one of my favorite restaurants in Memphis. The fact that it is walking distance from my house is further evidence that God loves me. My favorite dish is their Massaman Curry. Over the last couple of years I’ve tried to copy their recipe but haven’t been successful. The other night I tried a new recipe I found online, and friends, I must tell you that this is pretty close.
If you’re interested, here is the link for the recipe!
One of my favorite things to do is to cook. I’m not sure when I first began to find this enjoyable, but a glass of wine, some good music, and a new recipe is a “recipe” for a good evening. From time to time I’ll post some of my favorite recipes on this blog. These are my go to’s, and I’ve found myself doing them even more during quarantine.
First up…smoked pork tenderloin.
These come two in a pack at most grocery stores. I prefer them over pork loin. There’s nothing to do other than take them out of their packaging, dry them off, and apply a rub.
My favorite rub comes from the book Smokin’ with Myron Mixon. It’s his Basic Barbecue Rub. It calls for the following ingredients…
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp dry mustard
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper (less if preferred)
2 tbsp kosher salt
2 tbsp ground black pepper
Simply apply the rub to the tenderloins. Whatever you don’t use, just put it in an airtight container for next time. I’ve found that this recipe provides rub for around eight tenderloins.
You then refrigerator overnight.
There are different types of smokers. I use a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker. Here is the newer model of the one I have.
I smoke these at 225 degrees for 1-1.5 hours.
These are great with cheese on a hawaiian roll.
