Asian-Glazed 'Melt-in-Your-Mouth' Pork Tenderloin

Spring-n-Summer-Recipes By: Austin Geraldson "A sweet and salty brine is the secret to this Asian-inspired pork tenderloin. Let the pork tenderloin soak in the brine for 2 to 8 hours to become tender, juicy, and flavorful. Grill and serve the sliced tenderloin with the Asian glaze. Complete the meal with brown rice, glazed carrots, and steamed green vegetables."

Ingredients

1 gallon water

1/2 cup brown sugar packed

1/2 cup salt

2 tablespoons ginger finely grated

1/4 cup onion grated

1 lemon thinly sliced

5 cloves garlic minced

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

1/2 cup sweet and sour sauce

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

4 cloves garlic minced

2 tablespoons ginger finely grated

3 tablespoons brown sugar packed

1/3 cup orange juice freshly squeezed


Directions

To make the brine, mix together the water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons ginger, onion, lemon, 5 cloves of garlic, and 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce in a large container. Add the pork tenderloin, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours. For the glaze, whisk together 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, 4 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons ginger, brown sugar, and orange juice. Prepare an outdoor grill for high heat. Cook the pork tenderloin on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 7 to 12 minutes per side. Remove the tenderloin from the grill and cover with foil; allow to rest for 10 minutes. To serve, brush with glaze, and cut into thin slices.
