Traditional Asian seasonings make a wonderful marinade for pork tenderloin. Slice thinly and serve with hot mustard, ketchup and sesame seeds for a mouth-watering appetizer. Pork tenderloin is a fairly lean cut of meat that toughens up when overcooked, so watch carefully when grilling.

Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons sherry
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pound pork tenderloin

1. Combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sherry, brown sugar, peanut oil, honey, garlic salt and cinnamon in a small bowl; whisk well. Pour over pork and marinate for 3 hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally to coat meat.
2. Preheat grill.
3. Remove meat from marinade and drain (reserving marinade). Grill about 6 inches from heat for about 20 minutes, turning and basting occasionally. Pork should reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Makes 4 servings.
