I buy all our meat when it's on sale, and this shopping week (Wed-Tues) I found a beautiful, pork tenderloin calling my name!

I love fresh pork on the grill if grilled properly, it comes off the grill juicy and succulent! Taking the time (2 hours) to marinate your pork tenderloin will give you 5-star results! This is my favorite way to prepare and eat pork tenderloin! I hope you'll give it a try . . . and please let me know how you liked it!

With the current prices of meat, this is a great deal for the "fillet mignon" of pork!

Assemble all your ingredients

This Marinated Grilled Pork Tenderloin has such a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth-flavor . . . It should be illegal!

MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN ~ 3 lbs of pork tenderloins will serve 4, with leftovers for barbequed tenderloin sandwiches topped with my creamy coleslaw . . . YUM!

• Start with 2 - 1 1/2 pound boneless pork tenderloins.

1. Prep your tenderloins by removing all fat and silver skin (slide a sharp knife just under the silver skin to remove.

Prepare Marinade ~

• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 cup Marsala wine or dry sherry
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, or rice wine vinegar (whatever you have on hand will work just fine, even a balsamic vinegar will work)
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced ginger root (I keep mine frozen and use a sharp micro plane grater)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh minced rosemary
• 1 tablespoon minced scallions/green onions (I used my dehydrated roasted scallions)
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

1. Place all the prepared marinade ingredients in a shallow pan or, gallon freezer bag; mix well.
2. Add prepped tenderloins to prepared marinade, allow to marinate at room temp for 2 hours.
3. Preheat gas grill or indoor grill top on HIGH. Brush off grill grates, and grease them with vegetable oil.
4. Set grill burners to LOW, LOW, LOW.
5. Shake excess Marinade from temderloins, before placing them on grill (DO NOT THROW OUT MARINADE!)
6. Grill meat turning every 5 minutes, for aprox. 20 to 22 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165° F. / 74° C.
7. Meanwhile, pour Marinade into a sauce pan and simmer, uncovered for about 15 minutes, to make a Marinade Reduction to pour over your Grilled Tenderloin Slices.
8. When tenderloin is done, place on serving platter, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
9. Slice meat in 1/2-inch slices, pour hot Marinade Reduction over the top.

Serve with a fresh salad and crisp-tender fresh asparagus . . . And, don't forget to dip each bite into the marinade reduction . . . De-li-ci-ous!

 

Salad greens fresh from the garden . . . Swiss chard (stems included), spinach, trout romaine, French leaf lettuce, and Four Seasons Buttercrunch, homegrown carrots and homemade Red Pepper Salad Dressing!
