Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (1 to 1.5 lbs each) Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloins. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Rub the spice paste evenly over the pork tenderloins, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
Place the pork tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning every 4-5 minutes to ensure even browning, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. This should take about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the tenderloins.
While the pork cooks, prepare the ginger lime vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the pork into medallions and drizzle the ginger lime vinaigrette over the top.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
