This is my absolute favorite marinade for pork tenderloin. It is simple, sweet, warm flavors and a little spice with some red pepper. Just marinade in a large baggie anywhere from 4-8 hours and grill. You can use an indoor grill, but I prefer outdoor.

Categories     Pork     Quick & Easy     Grill/Barbecue

Number Of Ingredients 10

Pork Tenderloins (2, 12 oz. each)
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped fine (parsley can be substituted if necessary)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup olive oil
12 garlic cloves, crushed and a rough chop
2 teaspoons dried and ground mustard
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup soy sauce

Steps:

  • Marinade: Pour all the ingredients in a large bag, close and shake well with the tenderloins. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours. Grill: Remove from refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before grilling to reduce to room temperature. Grill to preferred tenderness. After grilling cover for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use a well-marinated pork tenderloin. Marinating the pork tenderloin overnight or for at least 6 hours will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the pork tenderloin should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy grilled pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
