How to Make

  • Step 1: To make the pork: combine first 7 ingredients (-pepper) in a large resealable plastic bag, shake to blend and add pork to the marinade, seal bag and chill overnight, turning bag occasionally.

  • Step 2: To make the sauce: In a bowl combine first 7 ingredients (-vinegar); season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to use (can be made one day ahead)

  • Step 3: Prepare grill to medium heat. Remove pork from bag and grill until thermometer inserted into center of each tenderloin registers 145 degrees F (15-20 minutes). Transfer to work surface and let stand for 10 minutes and then thinly slice into rounds.
