Honey Grilled Pork Tenderloin

This is an easy pork recipe with so much flavor.  We served this with collard greens and baked sweet potatoes for a balanced meal.

(original recipe from Southern Living)

Serves 6

• 2 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed of excess fat
• ¼ cup lite soy sauce
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

Make a lengthwise cut down the center of each tenderloin within ¼ inch of the opposite side (without cutting through); press to open.

Combine soy sauce, garlic and ginger in a zip top gallon bag; add tenderloins and seal.  Refrigerate for 3 hours, turning occasionally.

Stir together the brown sugar, honey and oil in a small bowl.

Grill tenderloins over direct medium heat for 12 minutes or until done, basting with the honey mixture.
