Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for grilling)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin to keep the dish low in fat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the pork is completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Place the pork on the grill or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if using the oven.

Step 6

Grill the pork for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Alternatively, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite healthy sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
