Grilled Honey Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin

INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin

For the marinade:

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

3 tbsp. brown sugar

3 tsp. ground ginger

1 tbsp. ketchup

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 cup honey

DIRECTIONS

In a resealable plastic bag, combine marinade ingredients and mix until sugar is dissolved.  Add pork tenderloin and turn to coat.  Refrigerate, turning once or twice, for 6-8 hours.  Heat grill to medium high.

Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade.  Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a full boil for 2 minutes.  Grill pork, turning and basting with heated marinade until pork is cooked but still just slightly pink in center, about 25 minutes.  Discard remaining marinade; let pork stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Even though this recipe calls for the meat to be grilled, its December in Oklahoma...that means its 19 degrees outside, ya'll!  And that means, HECK NO, I AIN'T GRILLIN'!  I'm thinking it will be yummy sliced into pork medallions and then cooked on the griddle.  Serving it with a mixed green salad with bacon and feta.  YUM!
