Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, brown sugar, ground black pepper, paprika, ground cumin, and salt. Whisk together until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 2
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully covered.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse the pork thoroughly.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates. Place the pork on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
If using an oven, place the pork on a roasting rack set over a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until it reaches the same internal temperature.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve the marinated pork with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
