MARINADE:
1/3 cup hoisin sauce

Recipe
To make barbecue sauce: In a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, boil vinegar, shallot, and garlic until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Stir in tomato sauce and mustard, and simmer to thicken (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in molasses and honey, and let cool. Puree mixture in a blender, transfer to a jar, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Warm over low heat before serving.
To marinate the meat: In a medium bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Place pork in a nonreactive baking dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in all but 1/4 cup of soy mixture, and reserve remainder for basting. Marinate meat for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare the grill or grill pan. Cook tenderloins over a medium flame, basting with reserved marinade and turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 150°F. on an instant-read thermometer (about 25 minutes).
Transfer pork to a carving board with grooves, tent loosely with foil, and let stand 5 minutes before cutting into 1/4" thick slices and serving. Serve the Mustard Barbecue Sauce in its own dish.
