With just 6 ingredients, this budget-friendly pork tenderloin is a weeknight wonder I find myself reaching for again and again. It’s lean, ultra-tender, and cooks lightning fast, especially when grilled.
This recipe starts with a simple marinade made from honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and a few fresh aromatics.
It’s slightly sweet, savory, and spicy, and the pork only needs 1 hour in the marinade to soak up all that flavor.
Instead of searing the pork in a cast iron pan, I (read: my husband) busted out our gas grill, cranked the burners up to high, and grilled the pork in 15 minutes flat.
Cooking pork tenderloin this way creates a golden, caramelized exterior while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
This is one protein perfect for meal prep for easy lunches too.
Enjoy!
