This is an incredibly tasty way prepare a pork tenderloin. I could not get over how delicious it was. Even my young kids like it. The amount of chili powder is deceiving, I thought it would be very spicy and it was not. Absolutely perfect for company! Serve with buttered noodles, baked apple sauce and you're good to go! Enjoy. NOTE: 6-8 hour marination time required Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs pork tenderloin (*can use a smaller tenderloin) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 garlic clove, crushed & minced |
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder (*adds heat, (to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Trim and rinse pork as needed. Place in a ziplock bag or dish with a tight seal.
2. Whisk together all ingredients until thoroughly blended.
3. Pour marinade over pork. Marinate in refrigerator at least 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
4. Heat grill to medium high. Grill pork until center is pale pink, about *15-17 minutes or to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, slice & serve immediately.
5. NOTES:
6. May need to adjust cooking time +/- depending on the size & thickness or the tenderloin.
7. The chili powder does not add the heat you may expect. Not sure why, but it won't be spicy as one might anticipate.
