How to Make 48 Hour Pork Tenderloin

  1. Place pork tenderloin(s) in a large, heavy-duty resealable plastic bag.
  2. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine all remaining marinade ingredients. Shake vigorously until well combined.
  3. Pour marinade over the pork tenderloin(s) in the bag, ensuring the meat is fully coated.
  4. Refrigerate for 24-48 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
  5. Preheat grill to medium heat (approximately 350-400°F).
  6. Remove pork tenderloin(s) from the marinade; discard the marinade.
  7. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the pork is slightly pink in the center.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Spoon any accumulated juices over the sliced pork.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
