Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pork tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Scallions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal or cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the pork tenderloins, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer, about 18-20 minutes. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is grilling, prepare the wasabi sauce by whisking together wasabi paste, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the amount of wasabi based on your heat preference.
Slice the grilled pork tenderloins and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle the wasabi sauce over the slices or serve it on the side.
Sprinkle with chopped scallions for garnish if desired and serve immediately.
