Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pork tenderloin
- 12 oz Light beer
- 3 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp Lime zest
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the light beer, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Pat the pork dry with paper towels.
If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates and grill the pork tenderloins for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
If oven-roasting, place the pork tenderloins in a lightly greased baking dish and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side if desired.
