Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 cup Apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons Horseradish
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium heat (350-400°F).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin.
Drizzle the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Rub the spices into the meat to coat thoroughly.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine apricot preserves, horseradish, orange juice, fresh ginger, Dijon mustard, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
During the last 5 minutes of grilling, baste the pork tenderloin with the prepared gingered Jezebel sauce.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled pork tenderloin with additional gingered Jezebel sauce on the side for dipping.
