This recipe is hands down one of my grilling favorites. Any time we have friends or family coming for dinner, this is a go-to recipe. I like to serve this with sweet potatoes and a mango salsa (make your own or do what I do and buy it premade – my favorite is the mango salsa that Whole Foods makes in their premade items in the produce section). I mix the sauce for the meat on Sundays during my meal prep for the week, which makes for a really quick weeknight dinner! In fact, we are having it tonight!
Hoisin Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Mango Salsa
Ingredients
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 tsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp chile garlic paste
1 garlic clove, minced
2 lbs pork tenderloin (1-lb each)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare grill or Traeger.
Combine hoisin, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, lime juice, Chile garlic paste, and garlic in a bowl and whisk together.
Butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing lengthwise, not through to the other side. Press the pork flat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the butterflied pork on the grill and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the pork over, baste with the sauce, and cook 5 more minutes. Flip the pork again, baste with the sauce, and cook 5 more minutes. Continue flipping and basting the pork until it reaches the desired degree of doneness (I prefer mine cooked to 155 degrees). Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork pieces topped with mango salsa.
