Two fabulous marinades for pork, from Robin R

By Roxane
Robin's notes:  I let them marinade for several hours (4 or 5).
Yield: Serves 6

Citrus and Soy-Marinated Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

• 2-3 pounds pork tenderloin
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)

Directions

1. Combine all the ingredients except the pork and mix well. Pour the marinade into a ziploc bag or baking dish and add the pork tenderloin, making sure the marinade completely covers the pork. Marinade for 8-10 hours.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill (charcoal or gas). Grill the pork tenderloin about 3-4 minutes on each of its four sides (the exact time will depend on the temperature of your grill) or the internal temperature is about 150 to 155 degrees. Remove from the grill, tent with foil, and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.




Marinated and Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients:

1 – 2 pounds pork tenderloin (2 tenderloins)
1/2 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup brown sugar


Directions:

1. Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and pour into a large Ziplock type bag.  Place the tenderloins in the bag and squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing.  Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinade for at least an hour, up to 24 hours.
2. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade about 30 minutes before you are ready to grill and allow to gently warm up on the counter.
3. Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Now we have a tenderloin that has been soaked in some great flavors, we need to make sure we don’t screw it up on the grill!  The key to properly grilling a pork tenderloin is to evenly cook the pork through by grilling each of the four sides.  This cut of pork is tubular, so we want to roll it to each of the four sides while we grill.
5. Once the grill is heated, place the tenderloin on the grill and grill the first side for around 5 minutes (times vary per grill, you are looking for a nice crust to form like shown in the photo, but not too much charring!).
6. After 5 minutes, roll the tenderloin onto the the next side and grill for another 5 minutes.
7. You know the drill now, 5 minutes per side, until an instant thermometer reads around 150 degrees.
8. Allow the tenderloin to rest on a platter for about 10 minutes before you slice into it, we want those juices to redistribute.

Pork tenderloin is an awesome, lean cut of pork.  If you don’t have time to marinade, no sweat, it will be delicious with some Kosher salt and black pepper.  The key is to grill it properly, over high heat and turning often so you don’t dry it out.  If you do have the time though, try it marinated, it’s well worth the wait!

Wrap the beets individually in foil and bake for 40-70 minutes, depending on size. To check, push a sharp knife through to the centre of each one -- it should be soft all the way through. Set aside to cool, then peel an...
