Ingredienser

2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin

1/2 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest

1 tablespoon parsley leaves (chopped)

1 tablespoon thyme leaves (chopped)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

Fremgangsmåte

Place the pork tenderloin in a bowl or resealable gallon sized bag.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic.

Pour the marinade over the meat. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.

Grill, broil or saute the pork over medium high heat until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 145 degrees F. This typically takes about 15 minutes depending on the size of your tenderloins.

Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT MARINADE

You can prepare this marinade up to 3 days before you plan to use it. Simply store the marinade in the refrigerator until you’re ready to add your pork.

This marinade contains a little bit of brown sugar which adds great flavor, but can easily burn. Make sure your grill or pan is not overly hot before you add your meat! No brown sugar on hand? Try honey instead!

Sometimes I like to do a mixed grill and add other types of meat such as shrimp, chicken or beef. My favorite is to put some beef into skirt steak marinade or London broil marinadeand serve it alongside the pork.

If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, use 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs instead.

Serve your pork with a variety of side dishes including favorites such as hasselback potatoes, three bean salad, crispy brussels sprouts, stuffed tomatoes, cowboy beans, tzimmes, grilled sweet potatoes, or even grilled peaches!
