Spicy Oriental Pork Tenderloin Marinade
Recipe #390394 1½ hours 1 hour prep Everyone says my husband grills the best steak they have ever had. My daughter thought these were better than his steak. They were really easy and really delicious. I served it with Kittencal's Asian-Style Ramen Broccoli Slaw. But it was good enought to serve with the same sides as steak. Very tender, juicy and scrumptious.You could use this with chicken or pork.Prep time includes at least one hour to marinate, but longer is so much better. Go for at least 3 hours, if you can. I did it overnight. This is enough to marinate 4 tenderloins, so you could cut it in half for 2, I think. I really marinated 4 with it. Sometimes when you cut the amount of marinade in half, it doesn't cover well

Ingredients
32 ounces pork tenderloins
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon beef base (could use half a beef bouillon or a whole, I don't think it would matter)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Chinese hot mustard (could use less and use dry mustard)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ginger powder (could use a teaspoon of fresh)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons sherry wine
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 onion, diced
1-2 tablespoon sesame oil
Directions
11. Marinate from one to several hours or overnight. Longer is better. Grill til medium rare. My husband does the grilling. He said he grilled it over a hot fire for 15 to 20 minutes total, probably. Sorry I can't be more specific. You do not want to overcook the tenderloin. It should be pink in the center. I have read that it should be 150-160 degrees with a meat thermometer when you take it up.
