Garlicky Brown Sugar Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Grilling gives the pork a smoky, charred exterior that complements the sweet and savory glaze.
Ingredients
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (1 to 1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloin
Instructions
- Â In a small bowl, mix together the first six ingredients.
- Â Place the pork tenderloin in a large sealable bag, and pour the sauce over the top. Remove as much air from the bag, and zip closed. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.
- Â Thirty minutes before you plan to cook the meat, remove the bag from the refrigerator, and let the meat rest at room temperature.
- Â Clean and oil the grill grates. Heat to high.
-  Reduce the heat to medium to medium-high, and place the tenderloin in the center. The loin has three sides — grill each side 5 minutes at a time, continuing to turn to a new side after each 5 minutes.
- Â Cook until the pork until it reaches 140 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 25 minutes on the grill.
- Â Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then serve right away.
