In a large bowl add orange juice, equal parts soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, ginger paste, horseradish mustard and all purpose seasoning. Whisk the ingredients together making sure everything is mixed in.
Pour 1/2 cup of the marinade into another container and set aside for later.
Place the pork tenderloins into the marinade and store it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or ideally overnight.
Preheat the charcoal grill to a medium to high heat and set for dual zone grilling.
Start by placing the marinated pork tenderloins on the indirect side first. Cook for 20 minutes.
Check for internal temperatures. Once the grilled pork tenderloin reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit, take the reserved marinade and brush the tenderloin.
Now, move the Sweet and Savory Pork Tenderloin to the direct side and flip every 30 seconds. Continue to do so until the skin has built a nice char all around. This can take 3- 4 flips to get the ideal finish.
Remove the grilled pork tenderloins from the grill and let them rest 5-10 minutes.
Brush more of the sweet and savory marinade on the grilled pork while it rests. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use pork chops in this recipe in place of tenderloin.Use dijon mustard in place of horseradish if you can't find any in the store.When using a charcoal grill, place the lid over the grill with the vents directly above the pork. This will allow the hot air to circulate and exit over the pork cooking the pork evenly throughout.
