Wasabi-Ginger-Soy Pork Tenderloin
½ C soy sauce – recommend Yamasa– I personally dislike Kikkoman
½ C light brown sugar
2 T freshly grated ginger
2 T good quality balsamic vinegar (get something that actually comes from Modena, Italy—just like Ferraris)
2 T olive oil
1 T fresh garlic
½ T prepared wasabi
1 t onion powder (or, I suppose you could grate some fresh onion)
Combine above ingredients. I actually don’t measure anything other than the soy & brown sugar. Pour into 1 gallon ZipLock bag that contains 4 tenderloins totaling about 5 lbs. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Remove to room temp approximately 45 minutes to an hour prior to placing on hot grill (preferably charcoal heated). Grill tenderloins over direct high heat on all sides for good color. Move off direct heat, cover grill and cook ‘til internal temp around 145. This will be medium or so.
Remove, tent, let rest for 10 minutes. Eat.
