List of Ingredients
2 12-ounces pork tenderloins
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 fresh jalapeno chile peppers, seeded and finely chopped*
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
Hot cooked rice (optional)
Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)
Fresh whole chile peppers (optional)
Recipe
1. Trim fat from pork. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, the chopped jalapeno peppers, the ginger, and crushed red pepper. Pour marinade over pork. Seal bag; turn to coat pork. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Drain pork, reserving marinade. In a grill with a cover, arrange hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium-high heat above pan. Place pork on grill rack over pan. Cover and grill for 40 to 50 minutes or until juices run clear (160 degree F), brushing once with reserved marinade after 15 minutes of grilling. Discard any remaining marinade.
3. Remove and cover pork with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. If desired, serve with hot cooked rice and garnish with cilantro sprigs and whole chile peppers. Makes 6 servings.
