Honey-Herb Pork Recipe

Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 25 min. + standing

Yield: 6 Servings

10 25 35

Ingredients

1 cup beer or ginger ale
1/2 cup prepared mustard
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons onion powder
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Pour 1 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare the grill for indirect heat using a drip pan. Place pork over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. If desired, serve with remaining marinade. Yield: 6 servings.
