Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey

- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the pork tenderloins in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Close the bag tightly and massage the marinade into the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the pork tenderloins for about 10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste with the marinade during cooking.
- Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice the pork tenderloins and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
