When it comes to quick, flavorful cooking on your Kamado Joe, few tools are more versatile than the Reversible Cast Iron Griddle. Designed to retain and radiate intense heat, this accessory is a workhorse—ideal for searing proteins, caramelizing veggies, or even griddling breakfast. For this pork tenderloin recipe, we used the flat side to develop a beautiful crust on the meat while preserving its natural juiciness. A touch of oil is all it takes to season the surface, helping your tenderloin sear instead of sticking.

Blast Searing

This method centers on blast searing—a high-heat, fast-cooking technique that locks in moisture while building deep flavor. By banking your coals to one side of the grill and closing the dome at key intervals, you create both direct and indirect heat zones. This gives you a dynamic cooking environment to sear, roast, and finish the pork all in one place. The result? A golden-brown crust with a tender, juicy center that’s ready in under 30 minutes.

Quality Meat

A great cook starts with quality meat, and Pork Tenderloins deliver on all fronts. Known for their rich marbling and tenderness, these loins pair beautifully with bold herbs and a zesty Dijon marinade. Pork tenderloin is a lean, quick-cooking cut that takes well to high-heat searing, especially when lightly seasoned and handled with care. Trim the silver skin, marinate briefly, and you’ll be rewarded with a restaurant-worthy result right off your Kamado Joe.
