Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Cups (c) molasses
• 1 Cup (c) apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) honey
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) brown sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground ginger
• 3 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 1.5 Pounds (lb) pork tenderloin

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, ground ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for basting.
2. Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the tenderloin is well-coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
5. Place the tenderloin on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
6. Once cooked, remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
7. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with your choice of roasted or mashed potatoes and a side of vegetables. Enjoy the rich, spiced flavors of this delightful dish!
