Ingredients

3 (3/4 to 1 pound) pork tenderloins

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup dry sherry

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon minced shallots

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

Directions

  1. Trim the tenderloins of all fat and silverskin. Place them in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.
  2. Combine the soy sauce, sherry, honey, vinegar, oil, and orange juice in a medium bowl, whisking until well blended. Stir in the rosemary, shallots, and ginger. Pour the mixture over the tenderloins. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
  4. Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning frequently, for about 18 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 155 degrees F. Transfer to a platter and allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  5. Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  6. Slice the pork into 1/4 inch-thick slices, spoon the hot marinade over the pork. Serve with a tossed salad.

I made the marinade exactly according to the recipe, boiled it for at least 15 minutes to try to thicken it (it only slightly thickened, which was okay poured directly onto the meat.) I did not care for the flavor of the marinade. In my opinion, it was lacking in umami flavor, was a bit oily and overly sweet. Perhaps more ginger, less honey and addition of garlic would help. I cooked the pork tenderloin sous vide at 140 degrees for 2 hours, then browned it very quickly in a hot cast iron pan. It was very tender, but a bit more well done than when I have previously cooked pork tenderloin via sous vide (which I do a lot); I will stick to my usual 135 degrees. I have some better marinades and rubs for pork tenderloin, I won’t make this marinade as written again.
