This is the second recreation from our recent Fogo de Chao dining experience. We loved this pork just as much as the garlic beef we made last week. I adapted a recipe online that claimed to be from Fogo de Chao. The marinade was simple enough - equal parts salt, fajita seasoning and lemon pepper; then add wine. I opted to leave the salt out - I figured there was enough salt in the fajita seasoning. We grilled the pork for about 12 minutes and then coated it in parmesan cheese and baked it a few minutes in the oven for the cheese to melt. It was fantastic - just like the restaurant!

And it looks fantastic as well - cooked to a nice pink - just the way I like it. We're always looking for new tenderloin recipes and this looks like a definite keeper.
What an interesting way to cook a pork tenderloin. Sounds very good.
