Three bold ingredients will change your grilled pork tenderloin for life. This is exactly the kind of rich, savory, easy-to-prepare recipe I like to serve to company. —Sharisse Dunn, Rocky Point, North Carolina

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)

Directions

  1. In a bowl or shallow dish, combine molasses, mustard and vinegar. Add pork and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
  3. Grill pork, covered, over indirect medium-high heat for 20-27 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°, turning occasionally. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
