- If frozen, when ready to barbecue, remove from freezer and thaw in fridge overnight. Or on counter for several hours, turning occasionally. Heat BBQ on medium-high, brush grill with oil.
- Remove pork from marinade, placing pork onto hot preheated grill. Cover and cook on each side for 7-8 minutes minutes per side, most tenderloins are triangular for a total of about 20-25 minutes.
- Baste with extra marinade, discard any leftover, or simmer leftover marinade for 10 minutes on stovetop and pour over cooked meat.
