Steps:
- Rinse tenderloins, and pat dry. Combine soy sauce and next 9 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag or shallow dish; seal or cover, and chill at least 12 hours. Remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade. Sprinkle evenly with salt. Grill, covered with grill lid, over high heat (400° to 500°) 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 155°, turning occasionally. Remove from heat; cover with aluminum foil, and let stand 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 160°. Garnish, if desired. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin overnight: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a cast iron skillet or grill pan: This will help to create a nice sear on the pork tenderloin.
- Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat: This will help to quickly cook the meat without overcooking it.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the pork tenderloin should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving: This will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat more tender.
