Easy Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple Salsa
This recipe can be made two different ways and I like them both. An easy, slightly healthier way is to use Coconut Amino’s instead of Soy Sauce which gives it a sweeter flavor. Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index and can be used in place of Brown Sugar. This Pork Tenderloin recipe is lean and marinating it makes it tender enough to cut with a fork. Paired with the Pineapple Salsa that adds a bit of sweetness and tang that melts in your mouth.
2 Ways to Make Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
2 Pounds Pork Tenderloin
2 Cloves Garlic
¾ Cup Coconut Aminos
1 Tablespoon minced fresh Ginger
2 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Alternate method
¼ Cup Honey
½ Cup Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
1 Tablespoons minced fresh Ginger
1 Tablespoon minced Garlic
1 Tablespoon Ketchup
¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ teaspoon Cheyenne Pepper
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Marinate Pork Tenderloin in the sauce for 8-24 hours. Grill Pork on low turning every 3 minutes so each side browns to caramelize and cook evenly. Remove when internal temperature reaches 149 degrees, approximately 15 minutes. Pork can also be baked in the oven.
Fresh Pineapple Salsa
½ fresh Pineapple, diced into small cubes
½ Red Bell Pepper, diced into small cubes
1 Jalapeno finely chopped, seeds and stems removed
½ bunch of Cilantro, chopped
2 Tablespoons Coconut Aminos
1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
Mix all ingredients and serve cold with the Pork Tenderloin
Optional – make it with Soy Sauce and add 2 teaspoons Sugar
Tip – The sharper the tip of the pepper, the hotter it will be.
