Pork Tenderloin w/ Citrus Soy Glaze

Although a longer cook time than I usually prefer, this recipe still remains a time and energy saver. Prepare (15min) the marinade the night before, refrigerate and either toss in a roasted pan for over preparation or straight on the grill. The result is a moist loin with a full flavored glaze.

 

Ingredients (4 servings)

1 Pork tenderloin (3-4lb Loin) 
* 1 clove garlic, crushed

* 1/2 cup soy sauce                                              

* 2 oranges, juices

* 1 lime, juiced
* 1/2 cup tamarind concentrate
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
* 1 tablespoon chopped scallions
Olive oil for brushing

Directions

1. Combine marinade ingredients ("*") in a bowl and stir to combine.

2. Place loin in a plastic, sealable bag. Pour marinade and seal. Marinate overnight in refrigerator.

3. Remove pork tenderloin, pat dry, brush olive oil onto grill for 30-40 min, rotating for even temp.

3. For over roasting, place on tray, brush with olive oil and roast @ 350 for 45-50 min

4. Bring reserved marinade to a boil in sauce pan, lower the heat and simmer until reduced by half

5. Remove Pork, allow meat to rest about 10 minutes, slice, drizzle marinade and serve

 

Substitutions

This recipe can be prepared without the Tamarind paste or substituted with any sesame or similar paste. This will thicken as well as subtly flavor your glaze. Green onion or fine diced shallot can be substituted for the scallions and minced or ground ginger may be used as well.
