Pork Tenderloin Grilled to Perfection

Ingredients

• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup oyster sauce
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloins

Step 1

In a large zip-top bag, mix together honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, ketchup, onion powder, cayenne, and cinnamon until well combined. Pop the pork into the bag, seal it up, and give everything a good squish to coat the meat evenly. Let it hang out in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you can.

Step 2

When you're ready to cook, fire up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick oiling so the pork doesn’t stick. Take the pork out of the marinade, but save that liquid for basting later.

Step 3

Place the pork on the grill and cook it for about 10 minutes, turning it every 3 minutes and brushing it with the reserved marinade as you go. Once that’s done, toss out any leftover marinade.

Step 4

Keep grilling the pork, turning every few minutes, until an instant-read thermometer slides into the thickest part and reads 145°F (63°C). This usually takes about 10 more minutes. When it’s done, let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing—it helps keep all those juices inside.
