Why This Recipe Works

Juicy and flavorful with a beautiful smoky char from the grill. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend barbecue. The tender meat makes every bite enjoyable and satisfying.

Chef's Cooking Tips

- Let the meat rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F for safe and tender results.
- Avoid flipping the pork too often; one or two turns will help develop a nice crust.

Step 1

In a large zip-top bag, mix together honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, ketchup, onion powder, cayenne, and cinnamon. Seal the bag and give it a good squeeze to combine everything. Toss the pork tenderloin into the bag, making sure it’s well coated, then pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates to keep the pork from sticking. Take the pork out of the marinade, but don’t throw the marinade away—you’ll use it for basting.

Step 3

Place the pork on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning it every 3 minutes and brushing it with that reserved marinade. After that, discard any leftover marinade. Keep grilling, turning every few minutes, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), which should take around 10 more minutes.

Step 4

Once it’s done, let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it juicy and tender. Enjoy!

Serving Options To Try

Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the pork. Mashed potatoes or a light rice pilaf also pair nicely. A tangy sauce or chutney can add extra brightness to the plate.

How To Freeze This Dish

Cool the pork completely before storing it in an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the meat, either in a microwave or covered in the oven.

Really impressed with how tender the pork turned out. I’m not the best at grilling but this was simple and effective.
