Trim off root ends of lemongrass; remove all tough outer leaves. Cut off tender lower 4 to 6 in. (10 to 15 cm) of stalks, and chop. Discard tops. Purée chopped lemongrass and water in blender until smooth, about 2 minutes

Preheat grill to medium and brush with canola oil. Remove tenderloin from marinade and shake off excess. Discard marinade.

Grill until cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Baste pork with reserved marinade halfway through cooking time. Cook until 140 °F to 145 °F (60 °C to 63 °C) for medium-rare to medium or 150 °F to 155 °F (66 °C to 68 °C) for medium to medium-well.
