Barbecued Pork Tenderloin

Barbecued Pork Tenderloin

Prep Time: 45 Minutes to 3 Hours 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Barbecued Pork Tenderloin is almost a quintessential summer must-have. It's light and full of flavor plus this cut of pork is the healthiest cut. It has virtually no fat, so be sure to turn the meat when grilling to avoid drying it out.  A really good Pinot is going to help highlight the flavors in both the marinade and the meat. Pair with the Churchill Cellars 2011 Pinot Noir and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (3/4 to 1 lb.)

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 3/4 tsp ground ginger

  • 1/8 tsp crushed dried chilies

  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard

  • 2 Tbsp packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp grated orange peel

  • 1 Tbsp salad oil

  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

In a deep bowl, mix garlic, ginger, chilies, mustard, brown sugar, orange peel, oil, vinegar and soy sauce.  Roll pork in mixture, cover and chill 30 minutes to 3 hours.  Turn meat several times. Drain, reserving marinade. Place on a lightly greased grill 4-6 inches above hot coals.  Brush pork with marinade, cover and cook, turning to brown evenly and baste occasionally until done, about 20 minutes.  Add water to remaining marinade to make ½ cup total.  Add cornstarch and stir over high heat until boiling.

Cut meat crosswise into thin slices and spoon sauce over the top.

On the advent of the Club's 33 year anniversary, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and all the staff with The California Wine Club! You folks do a wonderful job especially for those of us who no longer live near wine country and can no longer search out the small, independent vineyards and wineries along Central Coast, Sonoma, Napa and Lake County. What a tremendous reputation you folks have established! Thank you so much for the great service you provide!

I have to tell you that our experience with The California Wine club has far exceeded our expectations since joining in January 2022! I joined as a surprise for my wife’s birthday and she couldn’t be happier with getting to celebrate her birthday every three months with new wines arriving. The experience has introduced us to wines that we never would have known existed and the fact that they are from smaller family owned and operated vineyards is the best! We’ve been so happy with the team and how responsive they are at all times. Very knowledgeable, very friendly and very helpful. So much so that my wife and I have decided to make our first trip ever to Napa Valley this coming September. Your team is already helping us with arranging visits to several of the vineyards. We can’t wait! This has been a fantastic experience and we will be life long members.
