How to Make Apricot Ginger Pork Tenderloin
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- 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.
- Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloins (about 1.5 lbs total), pressing it into the meat.
- Place tenderloins in the center of the preheated grill.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the apricot preserves are melted and the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the pork tenderloins and serve generously drizzled with the apricot ginger sauce.
