Ingredients

2 Pork tenderloins

Marinade Ingredients

1 cup Orange juice
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup Maple syrup
2 tbsp Ginger paste
2 tbsp Horseradish mustard
1 tbsp All purpose seasoning

Instructions

To a large bowl, add all the marinade ingredients and mix well to combine.
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 direct heat side, directly over the charcoal, to sear. Flip and rotate every 1-2 minutes until the pork develops a beautiful golden brown crust.
Move the tenderloins to the indirect heat side of the grill, cover, and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 130 degrees.
Take the reserved marinade from earlier and start basting the pork. Continue basting and flipping until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees.
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.
Don't have maple syrup, no problem. Use honey or brown sugar.
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.
