Spicy Mexican-inspired marinade for an excellent grilled pork tenderloin. Serve as a main dish or slice as appetizers. This even tastes great cold.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 (10 ounce) pork tenderloins, trimmed of fat
Directions
Step 1
Whisk cilantro, chiles, garlic, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and cumin together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloins, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
Step 2
Remove tenderloins from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade and bring pork to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 4
Grill tenderloins on the preheated grill until slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Cook’s Note:
The chipotle chiles called for in this recipe are only 3 chiles from the can. Other chiles can be pureed, frozen, and saved for other uses. For more spice, add more chiles.
