Pork tenderloin on the grill is one of my fave entrees. Too bad my fussy hubby doesn’t care for it. I’ve tried many different marinades, and even ka-bobs, but he just doesn’t like pork tenderloin. He will sit down and eat a few pieces, but he’d rather have a fatty, juicy steak. Who wouldn’t? But one thing we both agree on: leftover cold pork is great in a sandwich.
This recipe had its start on Allrecipes, where it was rated 5 stars by 59 reviewers. It calls for stir-fry sauce, which I didn’t have, so I subbed brown sugar. Of all the pork tenderloin marinades I’ve tried, I really like this one the best. Slightly sweet, with a kick from red pepper and tang from lime juice, the flavors meld beautifully with the pork.

I can't believe he doesn't like pork tenderloin. It's one of our favorites around here. Can you cook it too much? I'm bookmarking this to try next time.
It's hard to beat grilled pork tenderloin Judy. I love the marinade that you used, so I'll have to try this soon!
This looks absolutely wonderful, Judy. We eat a lot of pork tenderloin and I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. This one is a keeper. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

This looks delicious!! The tenderloin looks like its just falling apart yummy:)
That marinade sounds so flavorful! It bet it would be great on chicken too.
I love pork tenderloin, and so does my husband! I love doing sweet/fruit marinades but my hubs doesn't like the sweet with meat!
I can't believe your husband wouldn't love this fabulous pork tenderloin. I'll be giving your marinade a try. It sounds delicious.

Can you bake it in the oven? If so, how long and what temp?
Hi Anonymous, I don't cook pork tenderloin in the oven. It totally changes the taste, IMHO. Grilling is my preferred method. That said, here are the instructions from Betty Crocker:
"Pan-roasting pork tenderloin
Preheat your oven to 425ºF and coat an ovenproof skillet with oil.
Sear the tenderloin over medium-high heat until it’s brown on all sides.
Roast the tenderloin for 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reads 145ºF.
Let it cool before serving."
I always let mine rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. The microwave, with doors closed and oven off, is a perfect place to let the roast rest.
