Grilled Pork Tenderloins

By Addie

We do a lot of grilling during the summer months, and this recipe is one my entire family loves.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 teaspoons ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
• Hot cooked rice

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add tenderloins. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.


Drain and discard marinade from meat. Grill, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 10-12 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting with reserved marinade. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with rice.

REVIEWS:

GREAT marinade. I improvised a little because I didn't have teriyaki sauce or onion powder. I used more soy and added a little more honey and sugar than called for. I used onion flakes and garlic powder. Even though I only marinaded for 8 hours the pork was so flavorfull. I used all the marinade for the meat and then boiled the marinade for basting.

This is an outstanding recipe! My family and company loved it. Even the leftovers are delicious--so tender and juicy. The flavor of the marinade is wonderful and would also be great on chicken and even salmon. I will definitely make this again and will experiment with it on other meats.
