A quick and easy grilled pork tenderloin recipe with a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze, perfect for summer BBQs and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds fresh pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
  • ¼ cup (3 tablespoons) pure, runny honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional garnishes: thinly sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Pat dry with paper towels. (About 5 minutes)
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper until smooth and slightly thick. Set aside 2 tablespoons for basting. (About 5 minutes)
  3. Place the tenderloin in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the remaining glaze over the pork and turn to coat evenly. Marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  5. Grill the pork tenderloin directly over heat for 12-15 minutes total, turning every 3-4 minutes. During the last 6 minutes, brush reserved glaze generously on all sides. Look for a glossy, sticky crust and deep brown grill marks without burning.
  6. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should read 145°F. Remove promptly to avoid overcooking.
  7. Tent pork loosely with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  8. Slice into ½-inch thick medallions. Garnish with green onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Do not skip trimming silver skin to avoid chewy meat. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness at 145°F. Brush glaze mostly in the last 6 minutes to prevent burning. Let pork rest before slicing to keep it juicy. If glaze thickens while resting, whisk before brushing.
