Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and orange zest to create the marinade for the pork tenderloin.
-
Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the meat is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
-
Brush the pork tenderloins with a bit of olive oil and season with salt to taste.
-
Grill the pork tenderloins for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
-
Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or additional citrus zest for an extra pop of flavor.
