Ingredients
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 green onions (white and some green)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 jalapeno peppers (seeds removed )
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 inch fresh ginger (peeled)
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 ¼ lbs each)
- pineapple salsa
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the pork to a food processor and process until you have a smooth marinade. Pour into a Ziplock bag and add pork tenderloins. Refrigerate for 8 hours or at least 4 hours.
- Heat the grill to medium heat, 350º. Remove tenderloins from the marinade and place on the hot grill. Cook, flipping occasionally until a meat thermometer reads 135-140º in the thickest part and the outside is golden brown. This should take about 12-15 minutes. Remove to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. The pork will continue to cook after it's removed from the grill.
- Slice and serve with pineapple salsa.
