Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
- In a large resealable bag, combine the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt.
- Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal. Make sure the pork is well coated with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and sear on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared pork tenderloin to a roasting pan or baking dish and brush with the reserved marinade.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced citrus pork tenderloin with the roasted vegetables and a fresh salad. Enjoy!
