How to Make Apricot Ginger Pork Tenderloin

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloins (about 1.5 lbs total), pressing it into the meat.
  4. Place tenderloins in the center of the preheated grill.
  5. Grill for 25-30 minutes for medium doneness (internal temperature of 145°F), turning occasionally to ensure even browning. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  6. While the pork is grilling, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup apricot preserves, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 tablespoon honey.
  7. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the apricot preserves are melted and the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
  8. Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice the pork tenderloins and serve generously drizzled with the apricot ginger sauce.

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.
