Grilled pork tenderloin – marinate pork tenderloin in soy sauce, lime juice, honey, ginger, garlic, and red pepper to deliver a complex seasoning combination.  This tasty marinade hits all five flavors: salt, savory/umami, sour, sweet, and bitter, which enhances this tender cut of meat.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce – see notes below for specific diet compliance*
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional

Meat

  • 1 package pork tenderloin – usually 2 loins per package (approximately 2.5 pounds); see photo; do not use pork loin

Instructions
