BBQ Citrus Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 1 package, approx
2 ½ lbs pork tenderloin (2 loins per package)
- ½ cup Olive oil
- ½ cup fresh Lime juice
- 6oz frozen Orange juice concentrate
- ¼ cup Water
- 2 tbsp Garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp ground Cumin
- 1 tbsp Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp Black pepper
- 1 large Sweet Onion, sliced
- 6-8 pieces Pita bread
- 1 Lime, cut into quarters
Instructions
- In a rectangular, non-reactive container combine the olive oil, lime juice, frozen orange juice concentrate, water, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Rinse the pork and add to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for four to eight hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium temperature.
- Cook the pork on all sides (rotating periodically) until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. Liberally brush the citrus marinade on the tenderloins frequently during the grilling and turning.
- Remove the pork from the grill and let stand 10 minutes. In the meantime, slice the onion. Heat one or two teaspoons of cooking oil in a pan and sauté over medium heat. After meat has rested, slice thin (hint: an electric knife works great).
- Serve on warm pita bread with sautéed onions. Squeeze fresh lime juice from wedges onto the sandwich.
- Serves 6-8
