  • 1 pork tenderloin

Marinade

  • 2 c. salad oil
  • 1/4 c. honey
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • 1/2 c. soy sauce
  • 1 t. onion powder

Sauce

  • 1 c. Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 t. Salt
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1/2 t. Worchestershire sauce
  • 1/2 c. sour cream
  • 1/2 t. white pepper
  • 3 t. Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients for marinade in a small bowl. Place tenderloin in a gallon Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the tenderloin. Marinate for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Mix all sauce ingredients and chill in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • To cook, remove meat from Ziploc bag and discard marinade. Sprinkle all sides of meat with seasoned salt and crushed pepper. Grill over hot coals until both sides are brown.

  • Serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

Note: You can use a pork loin instead of tenderloin. It is not quite as tender, but the flavor remains excellent.
