Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring that the tenderloin is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the pork and marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best results. Turn the pork occasionally to ensure even marinating.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting.
If grilling, remove the pork from the marinade and grill for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
If roasting, place the pork tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with foil or in a roasting dish. Pour a few spoonfuls of the marinade over the pork, then roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides and enjoy!
