"This is the best Tenderloin I've ever had. It's a friends recipe and I love how simple it is! Great for those summer months when it's too hot to turn on the oven. Cook time does not include marinade time."

Serves:: 6-8

ingredients

1 -2 lb pork tenderloin
¹⁄₂ cup soy sauce
¹⁄₂ cup lime juice
¹⁄₂ cup canola oil (or Olive Oil)
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 -2 tablespoon garlic (to taste)

directions

Combine Soy Sauce, Lime Juice, Oil, garlic and Red Pepper Flakes in a 13" x 9" (non-metallic) Pan or Ziplock bag to make marinade.
Add the tenderloin and marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight (sometimes I'll marinate for almost 2 days!).
Grill on BBQ over low heat, turning regularly and basting with marianade until internal temperature reaches 160 (about 25 minutes).
It should be crusty on the outside and tender on the inside - delicious!

good base recipe but it needed some more flavour when I tasted it. I added some minced garlic and a little grated ginger.

I made this tonight and it was wonderful. It is truly the best pork tenderloin EVER! I don't like to rate recipes I've changed, but this was so good I thought I may pass it on. I didn't have any lime juice, so substituted pineapple juice. Only had about 3 hours to marinade, but it was more than flavorful. Don't forget to let stand about 10 minutes before slicing. The moistest pork I've ever had. I reduced the remaining marinade to the consistency of a syrup and lightly drizzled it over the meat. Heavenly!

Wonderful recipe, have been making it for a few years and everyone who has had it wants the recipe. I cut down on the amount of soy after the first time, just a matter of taste. Also add cilantro just before serving. Thanks stacylu!

This was quite ok. I always like to use lime in a maranade. Always seems to pick it up. I cut the recipe in half and it worked fine. Thanks for the post stacylu

Great recipe. It smelled so good on the grill too. I added garlic because we love garlic. A real keeper!!!
