Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped scallions for garnish (optional)
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, vegetable oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the pork tenderloins in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and gently massage the marinade into the pork. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
- Grill the pork tenderloins for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the tenderloins with the reserved marinade during cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Slice the tenderloins into thin slices.
- Garnish with chopped scallions, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice and vegetables.
