Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons lime juice
1 large clove garlic
Fresh or frozen ginger yielding 1 tablespoon coarsely grated
2 tablespoons maple syrup
8 ounces pork tenderloin
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Turn on broiler, if using.
Squeeze lime juice into bowl large enough to hold the pork. Crush garlic, and add. Coarsely grate ginger; add with maple syrup, and mix well.
Wash and trim fat from pork; and cut off the tail, and reserve. Cut the rest of the tenderloin into 1-inch-wide pieces; add them and the tail to marinade, turning to coat. Season with pepper.
When ready to cook, prepare a stove-top grill, if using. Grill or broil the pork tenderloin, browning on both sides, for 5 to 7 minutes, until it is slightly pink inside. Baste with marinade.
