Molasses-Glazed Pork Tenderloin Recipe: Easy Grilling

Ingredients

• 2 cups molasses
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloin

Instructions

1. Whisk together the molasses, vinegar, honey, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. Remove 1 cup of this mixture to reserve for basting later. Pour the remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag, then add the pork tenderloin. Coat thoroughly with the marinade, squeeze out any excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.
2. Preheat your outdoor grill for medium heat, ensuring the grates are lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
3. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade responsibly. Cook on the preheated grill until the pork is no longer pink in the center, approximately 20 minutes, basting occasionally with the 1 cup of reserved molasses glaze.
