Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare a two-zone fire.

Step 2

Remove any silver skin from the pork tenderloins and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub each pork tenderloin with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the prepared spice mixture.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Set this glaze aside.

Step 6

Once the grill is preheated, place the pork tenderloins on the grill over direct heat. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes to create grill marks.

Step 7

Move the tenderloins to indirect heat or lower the temperature to medium. Close the lid and grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (for medium doneness).

Step 8

During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the tenderloins generously with the honey-soy glaze on all sides, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Step 9

Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the pork into medallions and serve warm, garnished with any extra glaze drizzled on top, if desired.
