Notes

  • Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
  • BAKING INSTRUCTIONS: 
  • Add the pork tenderloin to a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the top of the tenderloin and cover the pan with foil.
  • Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit  for 25-30 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the foil. Broil for 3-4 minutes to brown the pork slightly. Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes and then it's ready to slice, serve and enjoy. 
  • Pat the pork tenderloins dry with a paper towel.
  • In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients except for the pork tenderloin.
  • Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F) and rub the grill grates with oil to keep the pork from sticking to the grates.
  • Use tongs to remove the pork from the bag.  Shake off the excess marinade.  Place on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove from the grill.  Tent with foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes.  The pork should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F while the pork is resting.
  • Then the pork is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
