Method

1

Marinate the pork: Put the pork tenderloins in a gallon zip-top bag or a baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients - gochujang, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, mirin, and brown sugar - until the brown sugar dissolves. Pour the marinade over the pork tenderloins. (Squeeze the air out of the bag and zip closed if using). Marinate for at least least 1 hour, up to overnight, turning the pork occasionally to even out the marinade.

2

Set the grill for indirect medium heat: Set up the grill for indirect medium heat - half the grill for direct medium heat, half the grill with no heat. For my gas grill, I preheat with all burners on high for 10 minutes, then brush the grill grates clean with my grill brush. I turn half the burners down to medium, and turn off the other half of the burners.

3

Sear the pork over direct heat, finish over indirect heat: Remove the tenderloins from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and put them on the direct medium heat side of the grill. First we sear the pork as if it has four sides: grill it until there are browned grill marks on the bottom, about 2 minutes, then give the pork a quarter turn. Repeat until each side has good grill marks: grill for about 2 minutes, turn, grill for another 2 minutes, turn, and a grill for 2 minutes on the last side. Move the pork to the indirect heat side of the grill, so there are no direct flames below it. (If you have a remote probe thermometer , now is the time to poke it deep into the thickest part of the tenderloin and set it for 145°F). Close the lid and cook until the pork reaches 145°F internal in its thickest part for medium, about 15 minutes. Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice, sprinkle with the minced scallions and sesame seeds, drizzle with a little extra gochujang, and serve.
