Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame seeds, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the pork, reserving the other half for later use. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloins on the grill. Cook for 15–20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes and brushing with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.

Step 6

Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest, covered with foil, for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch-thick medallions. Sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
