Ingredients

Marinade:

1/2 cup soy sauce
2 oranges, juices
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup tamarind concentrate
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1 pork tenderloin (about 12 ounces)
Olive oil, for brushing

Directions

Combine marinade ingredients in measuring cup and stir to combine. Place the pork tenderloin in a plastic, sealable bag. Pour marinade over the tenderloin and seal bag. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat an outdoor grill or preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove pork tenderloin from marinade and pat dry. Brush olive oil onto grill and over meat for extra flavor. Reserve marinade. Grill tenderloin until cooked through, about 30 minutes to 40 minutes over medium heat. Or roast in oven for 35 to 45 minutes. Allow meat to rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 2-inch serving pieces.

While meat is grilling, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan, then lower the heat and gently simmer until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Stir occasionally. Drizzle a small amount of marinade over each piece of meat.

Way too Sour
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Cathy from Houston you are right on. Way too tangy and sour. Looks like others used perserves in place of the tamarind. ... Perhaps that is the answer.Read more

Is the marinade supposed to be tangy??
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I had high hopes for this recipe after seeing 5 stars and reading the reviews. I followed the recipe to the "T"... and even... used tamarind concentrate. Marinaded the tenderloin overnight, prepared the sauce to drizzle on the pork... but in the end, everything was blehhh... The pork itself was tender, but I think it would have been tender even if i used a different recipe. The flavor is what I have a problem with - it's too tangy and sour. Half a cup of tamarind? And lime juice? AND dijon mustard?? Really??? All these 5-star ratings are coming from these reviewers who didn't use tamarind concentrate! Try using the concentrate and I think the reviews will change. The recipe isn't god-aweful, but it surely isn't great. Sorry Paula, this one's getting dumped out of my recipe box. :(Read more
