Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare a two-zone fire.
Remove any silver skin from the pork tenderloins and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub each pork tenderloin with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the prepared spice mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Set this glaze aside.
Once the grill is preheated, place the pork tenderloins on the grill over direct heat. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes to create grill marks.
Move the tenderloins to indirect heat or lower the temperature to medium. Close the lid and grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (for medium doneness).
During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the tenderloins generously with the honey-soy glaze on all sides, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.
Slice the pork into medallions and serve warm, garnished with any extra glaze drizzled on top, if desired.
