Serving6 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup italian salad dressing, (I used Wishbone Robusto Italian)
- ¼ cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 3 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 (1 pound) pork loin, sliced
Equipment
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salad dressing, pineapple juice, and soy sauce. Pour half of the marinade into a gallon-sized resealable bag and cover the other half of the marinade and place in the fridge until you are ready to grill.
- Slice the tenderloins ¾ inch thick and then place tenderloins into the bag and place in the fridge to marinate. You will want to marinate them for at least 30 minutes, but I think that they taste best when they marinate for 4-6 hours.
- Grill over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reads 160℉, basting the entire time with the reserved marinade.
Notes
- Be sure to use a hot grill to achieve a nice initial sear, creating crispy pork medallions that trap in moisture to make a delicious pork tenderloin recipe with those tasty browned bits on the outside.
- Marinating is key to getting the flavor to penetrate throughout the whole pork loin.
- To make an extra crispy coating on the delicious pork medallions, place the marinated pork into a mixing bowl with a little bit of all-purpose flour with some garlic powder before frying to a golden brown perfection.
