It’s my pork tenderloin marinade, and I think you’re going to love it. This recipe is different from my Pork Chop Marinade, which is equally delicious, but this particular marinade has been perfected specifically for pork tenderloin the way I like it. It has just the right amount of zesty flavor, and it’s really easy to customize to your own personal tastes. Ideal for any way you want to cook your tenderloin, whether you’re grilling it, baking it, roasting it, cooking it on the stove top or in a slow cooker, or even chopping it up for something like a pork stir fry. Marinate the pork tenderloin. Add the pork tenderloin to the bowl and cover with marinade. Or, use a large sealable baggie. Seal the bag and rub in the marinade. Marinate the pork tenderloin for 2 hours minimum, or up to 24 hours for the best flavor penetration. Boom! Done! Time to get cooking some pork tenderloin! It’s so good, now matter how you make it. Huge flavor right here, my friends. I love this marinade. When you’re ready to cook, remove pork tenderloin from marinade and discard the marinade. Cook as desired. I love to toss in a sliced jalapeno, usually lightly grilled along with the tenderloin, as a bit of extra garnish and pops of heat and flavor. A favorite for me. For grilling, heat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the pork tenderloin for 12 minutes, flipping once half way through. Move the tenderloin to indirect heat and continue cooking another couple minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare, or 160°F for well done when measured with a meat thermometer. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice and serve. I love it this way. The marinade does wonders.
