Ingredients

• 2 pieces Pork tenderloin
• 12 oz Light beer
• 3 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tsp Lime zest
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the light beer, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 4

Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Pat the pork dry with paper towels.

Step 5

If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates and grill the pork tenderloins for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

If oven-roasting, place the pork tenderloins in a lightly greased baking dish and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side if desired.
