Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 cup Apricot preserves
• 2 tablespoons Horseradish
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium heat (350-400°F).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin.

Step 3

Drizzle the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Rub the spices into the meat to coat thoroughly.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine apricot preserves, horseradish, orange juice, fresh ginger, Dijon mustard, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Step 6

During the last 5 minutes of grilling, baste the pork tenderloin with the prepared gingered Jezebel sauce.

Step 7

Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve the grilled pork tenderloin with additional gingered Jezebel sauce on the side for dipping.
