This Pork Tenderloin Marinade makes a deliciously sweet, tender, and juicy pork tenderloin main dish that is irresistibly good! It's easy to whip up with simple ingredients you'll already have in your pantry, and it only takes 15 minutes to cook!
Combine all marinade ingredients (vinegar through pepper) in a large liquid measuring cup or bowl.
Place pork tenderloins in a large Ziploc freezer bag or medium container. Pour half of the marinade onto the pork, seal, and turn to coat. Reserve the remaining marinade in the fridge, covered.
Marinate pork for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
Oven
Turn the oven to 400 degrees F. Place an oven-safe skillet or pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking oil spray.
Meanwhile, add the remaining marinade to a small pot and cook over medium heat on the stovetop, until slightly thickened. (*This step is optional but a great accompaniment to the finished pork)
When the pan is hot, add pork and sear on all sides (about 1-2 minutes per side). Finish in the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees F. For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork.
Remove from the oven, and let pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. Serve with thickened glaze if desired.
Grill
Heat grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees F.
Add the marinated pork to the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning at least once, until an internal temperature of at least 140-145 degrees F is reached.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Storage:
Store: Store pork tenderloin leftovers in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or the oven until heated through.
Freeze: You can store leftovers in the freezer for 4-6 months - you can even put a piece of parchment paper between each tenderloin slice to prevent them from sticking. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge, then warm either in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the oven until heated through.
