This Citrus Take On Pork Tenderloin Is Unlike Anything You Have Ever Had Before

The pork needs to marinade in those delicious spicy and sweet flavors for a couple hours or overnight to make sure it tastes wonderful.

This only takes a few minutes to grill, so you and your guests can start enjoying it in no time at all!

Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

1-1/2 lbs. pork tenderloin

1 T. vegetable oil

1 T. lime juice

1 tsp. soy sauce

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. dried cumin

1/2 tsp. brown sugar

1/16 tsp. cinnamon

smoked salt

lack pepper

lime wedges

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

Pat pork dry and set in a pan or dish with sides.

Combine oil, lime juice, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour chili mixture over pork and rub it over the entire surface of the pork.

Let sit for 30 minutes while you prepare the grill. Or for a deeper flavor, place seasoned pork in refrigerator for a couple hours or overnight before grilling, just remove from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling.

Heat grill to 550°. Place tenderloin on grill grates and sear, without moving, for 4 minutes. Flip tenderloin over and sear opposite side for another 4 minutes, without moving. Reduce grill heat to medium-high, between 475° and 500°. Flip tenderloin back to first side and cook for 6 minutes. Then flip over once more and cook for another 6 minutes. When temperature just reaches 145°, remove tenderloin to a plate. Let rest for 3 minutes. The pork will continue to cook while resting.

Cut into 1/2″ to 3/4″ slices. Offer fresh lime wedges for an extra spritz of lime right before eating.
