Instructions
You will also need: large re-sealable plastic bag and a sheet pan or large plate
Place the pork tenderloins in a large re-sealable bag.
In a small jar or bowl combine the soy sauce, smashed garlic, brown sugar, ginger powder, salt, and crushed red pepper, if using
Cover the jar and shake well, or use a fork or small whisk to combine the ingredients well.
Add the Asian marinade to the pork tenderloin. Seal the bag and massage the pork tenderloins with the marinade to coat well.
Place the bag on a plate or pan, just in case the bag leaks and refrigerate for at least a 2-3 hours to overnight.
Grill the Pork Tenderloin
Remove the pork from the bag and discard any leftover marinade.
Preheat the grill to medium.
Cook the pork tenderloin over moderate heat for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached. Ensure that the internal temperature is at least 145°F at its thickest piece.
After grilling, let the pork tenderloins rest for approximately 10 minutes.
Slice the pork tenderloin and enjoy. If there’s any juices on the pan or plate, pour them over the sliced pieces.
Notes
The pork tenderloin will be super flavorful after a couple of hours in the marinade, but leaving it overnight is best.To grill the pork tenderloins we used a gas grill.
