Tips and Notes

• Pork Tenderloin: Choose a fresh pork tenderloin, about 1 to 1.5 pounds, for the best results. Trim any excess fat before marinating.
• Marinade: Marinate the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and sesame oil for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor. This will infuse the meat with delicious Asian flavors.
• Grilling Method: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork tenderloin for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
• Peanut Sauce: Make the peanut sauce by mixing creamy peanut butter with soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, and a splash of water to thin it out. Adjust the flavors to your liking, adding more lime for tanginess or chili paste for heat.
• Storage: Store any leftover grilled pork tenderloin in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the grill to maintain moisture.
