How to Make Barbecued Pork Tenderloins
- In a shallow, non-corrosive dish, combine orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, and black pepper.
- Add the pork tenderloins to the marinade, turning to coat thoroughly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning the tenderloins once or twice during marinating.
- Prepare your grill for grilling (charcoal or gas). If using charcoal, ensure the coals are very hot and covered with gray ash. If using gas, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the pork tenderloins on the preheated grill.
- Sprinkle the tenderloins lightly with salt.
- Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the pork is browned and crusty on the outside but still juicy inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the tenderloins from the grill and let them rest on a serving platter for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the pork tenderloins diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
