For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can roast the pork tenderloin in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Be careful not to baste too close to the end of the cooking time, as the sugars in the molasses can burn easily. Basting in the last few minutes can provide a beautiful, glossy finish. Always let the meat rest before slicing against the grain for optimal tenderness.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the molasses, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture in a separate container for basting. (5 minutes)
02
Step
1 mins
Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated. Remove excess air, seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor. (1 minute)
03
Step
12 hrs
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Discard the used marinade. Place the pork on the preheated grill. (2 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Cook the pork tenderloin for approximately 20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting frequently with the reserved 1 cup of marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. (20 minutes)
06
Step
20 mins
Remove the pork tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. (10 minutes)

Dec 8, 2024I didn't have red pepper flakes, so I used a pinch of cayenne pepper instead. It still turned out great!
