A flavorful and tender pork tenderloin marinated in a savory ginger soy sauce, perfect for grilling or broiling.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag.
Using a resealable bag ensures even coating of the marinade.
Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger.
Chopping the garlic and ginger finely helps release their flavors into the marinade.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the sugar dissolves and the flavors combine evenly.
Pour the marinade over the pork in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight gives the best flavor and tenderness.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill or oven is properly preheated for even cooking.
Remove the pork from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and discard the marinade.
Letting the excess marinade drip off prevents flare-ups on the grill.
Grill or broil the pork for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Using a meat thermometer ensures the pork is cooked to the perfect doneness.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
Serve the pork tenderloin with your choice of sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.
Pairing with complementary sides enhances the overall meal experience.
