How to Make Honey Sesame Grilled Pork Tenderloin

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup light beer (or regular beer), 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 clove garlic (minced).
  2. Place the 1.5-2 lb pork tenderloin in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
  5. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-low to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
  7. Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill.
  8. Grill for 25-30 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes and basting frequently with the reserved marinade, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (71°C).
  9. Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice the pork tenderloin diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
  11. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional) and serve immediately.
