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.
