Honey-grilled tenderloins

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ pounds Pork tenderloin
⅓ cup Soy sauce
½ teaspoon Ginger
5 Garlic cloves; chopped
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
3 tablespoons Honey
2 teaspoons Sesame oil
Cooking spray

Directions

Trim the fat from tenderloins. Butterfly by making a lengthwise cut, cutting to within ¼ inch of other side. Place in a shallow pan or zip-top bag. Combine soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Pour over tenderloin. Cover or seal; refrigerate at least 3 hours turning occasionally. Remove tenderloin and discard marinade.

Combine brown sugar, honey, and oil in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Coat grill rack with cooking spray.

Grill over low to medium heat 10-15 minutes a side or until a meat thermometer registers 160. Baste frequently with honey mixture.

NOTES : If it's too cold to grill outside, preheat oven to 350 and bake.

This only takes 20-30 minutes to cook and you don't want it overdone! Baste frequently while cooking.
