Categories Pork

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 pork tenderloin (~1 pound each), trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Whisk marinade ingredients together (OJ, olive oil, soy sauce, molasses, minced garlic). Place tenderloins in a large ziploc bag and add the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove the tenderloins from the bag and discard the marinade. Mix the rub ingredients (chili powder, pepper, salt, cumin, oregano, garlic powder) and coat tenderloins evenly with rub. Lightly brush or spray them with olive oil. Allow to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling or broiling.
GRILLING: grill over indirect medium heat ~25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through. Remove from grill, loosely cover with foil, and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting.
BROILING: position a rack near the bottom of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees. Place the tenderloins side by side, but not touching, in the smallest roasting pan that will hold them. Roast for 20-30 minutes (based on how well done you prefer them), turning once halfway through cooking.
