Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 medium green mango
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Grill the pork for 18-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Brush the reserved marinade onto the pork while grilling for added flavor. Discard any remaining marinade after use.
While the pork is grilling, peel and julienne the green mango. Place it in a small bowl and toss with a pinch of salt and additional lime juice (optional) to enhance the tartness.
Once the pork reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.
Arrange the sliced pork on a serving platter alongside the julienned green mango. Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this tropical-inspired dish with steamed jasmine rice or a side salad, if desired.
