Grill Louisiana alligator tenderloin over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), being careful not to overcook, as alligator meat can become tough. Alligator tenderloin is the most prized, tender white meat cut—often called the "filet mignon" of gator—located along the inner tail. Perfect for alligator tenderloin recipes or alligator tenders, these premium cuts are typically sold in 1 lb packs, making them ideal for your next authentic Creole meal.
