A perfect balance of bold and comforting flavors with a honey-sriracha glaze caramelized on juicy pork tenderloin, ideal for summer BBQs and quick dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Trim the pork tenderloin by removing any silver skin or excess fat (3-5 minutes).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, olive oil, and ground black pepper until smooth.
  3. Place the trimmed tenderloin in a plastic zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally 3-4 hours, turning occasionally to coat.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 10-15 minutes). Clean and oil the grates.
  5. Remove the pork from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard leftover marinade.
  6. Grill the pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes total, turning every 5 minutes to get even grill marks and caramelization. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  7. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Slice the tenderloin into ½-inch thick slices across the grain. Garnish with chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Keep a spray bottle of water handy to control flare-ups caused by the honey glaze. Avoid poking the meat with a fork to keep juices locked in. Marinate at least 1 hour for best flavor; longer marinating (up to 24 hours) deepens flavor. Let meat rest after grilling to retain juiciness.
