Southern Style Pork Tenderloin
Southern Style Pork Tenderloin is smoky, sweet, and tangy all in one. Perfect for grilling!
2whole pork tenderloins, approximately 2 pounds total, trimmed
Instructions
Place the first seven ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour into a large zipper bag or glass container large enough to hold the pork tenderloins and marinate overnight or up to 2 days.
Preheat a grill to high heat, and oil the grates.
Remove tenderloins from the bag, reserving the marinade, and grill for 14-15 minutes, turning halfway through or until the internal temperature is 140°F. Remove from heat and set meat aside to rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to rest and redistribute.
While the meat is resting, place the marinade in a small pan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Slice the tenderloin on a bias and serve with the sauce if desired.
