Maple-Garlic Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Another winner recipe for pork tenderloin.   The last time I made this I substituted tahini paste for the sesame oil and as I was also short on time I only marinated the meat 4 hours.  The dish was delicious.  This is obviously a forgiving recipe, the kind I like the best.

Ingredients


2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 cup maple syrup
2 pork tenderloins

Directions


Combine mustard, sesame oil, garlic, pepper, and maple syrup.  Place pork in a shallow dish and coat thoroughly with marinade.  Cover, then chill in the refrigerator at least eight hours, or overnight.

Remove pork from marinade, and set aside. Transfer remaining marinade to a small saucepan, and cook on the stove over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.  Brush grate with oil, and place meat on the grate over medium-low heat.  Grill pork, basting with reserved marinade for about 15-25 minutes, or until tender.  Avoid using high temperatures as marinade will burn.
