How to Make Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin
- Whisk together marinade ingredients (see below) in a measuring cup until well combined.
- Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the tenderloin, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag tightly.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F) or preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
- Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil. Brush the pork tenderloin with olive oil for extra flavor and to prevent sticking.
- Reserve ½ cup of the marinade for the sauce. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the tenderloin for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Alternatively, roast in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill or oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the pork rests, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to about 2 tablespoons (about 10-15 minutes).
- Slice the pork tenderloin into 2-inch thick pieces.
- Drizzle the reduced marinade sauce over the sliced pork tenderloin and serve immediately.
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.
