Karen says, "These Asian flavors with the pork make a very flavorful dinner. Excellent served with Creamy Brussels Sprouts with Lemon, baked potatoes, and homemade applesauce. Add a little Crème Fraiche to your baked potato for a special treat."

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Plum Sauce

Recipe Type: Pork, Plum Sauce, Chili Garlic Sauce
Yields: 2 to 4 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min


Ingredients:

1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin roast*
1/2 cup Plum Sauce**
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
4 large garlic cloves, diced
2 teaspoons hot Chili Garlic Sauce**

* Pork Tenderloin comes in a sealed package with two small tenderloins, about 1 pound each. I like to cook one and seal the other to freeze for a quick dinner on another night.

** Plum Sauce and Hot Chili Garlic Sauce are found in the Asian section of your grocery store.


Preparation:

In a large zippered or resealable plastic bag, combine Plum Sauce, green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and Chili Garlic Sauce. Add the pork tenderloin and seal the plastic bag. Rub the marinade well into the pork; refrigerate overnight.

When ready to cook, prepare your grill.

Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and set aside. Place the marinade into a small saucepan. While the pork tenderloin is grilling, simmer the marinade over medium-high heat until thickened, stirring often to prevent sticking, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Grill the pork tenderloin over direct heat approximately 6 minutes per side until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of the roast registers 140°F. to 145°F.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Plum SauceWhen the pork tenderloin is done to you liking, remove from the grill and transfer onto a cutting board; tent with aluminum foil and let roast stand 6 minutes before carving (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the grill).

Transfer onto a serving platter and serve with the thickened marinade over the top or on the side.

Makes 2 to 4 servings.
