Creole Mustard Marinated Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Creole Mustard Marinated Pork Tenderloin Recipe

  • 2 pork tenderloins (2½ pounds total), trimmed
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Creole or coarse-grained mustard
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup cola
  1. Place the tenderloins in a large sealable plastic bag. To make the marinade, whisk together all of the ingredients in a large bowl and pour over the tenderloins in the plastic bag. Marinate 4 to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. For the meat, grill the pork approximately 15 to 25 minutes or until the temperature reaches 150°F in the center with a meat thermometer. Let the meat rest, uncovered, 10 minutes before slicing.
  3. Serve this with the Red Wine Cherry Sauce if you would like a sauce to accompany the meat.
  4. Variation: A 4-pound pork roast may be substituted (marinade is plenty) and cooked in the oven at 350°F with a thermometer inserted. The internal temperature should be approximately 155°F. Let it rest 10 minutes so the juices disperse. Pork chops or grilled steaks taste wonderful after marinating in this mixture as well.
