Tequila Pork With Tropical Salsa

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine lime zest and juice. Set aside.

2. 2

   Use a microplane grater to grate the knob of ginger over a cutting board. Transfer the grated ginger to the bowl with the lime.

3. 3

   Add the honey, tequila, jalapeno, cilantro, olive oil salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Place the pork tenderloin into a 1 gallon zip top bag. Pour the marinade over the pork and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4.

5. 5

   Take the pork from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking and remove it from the marinade onto a baking sheet or platter.

6. 6

   Preheat the grill to a high heat - about 450 degrees. Place the pork onto the hot grill and sear on one side for 5-6 minutes. Flip over and continue to cook for an additional 5-6 minutes for medium or to desired doneness.

7. 7

   Transfer pork to platter or cutting board and tent with tin foil. Let meat rest for 4-5 minutes before carving.

8. 8

   Slice the tenderloin into half inch slices. Arrange neatly on a platter. Serve salsa on the side or scoop some onto the platter with the pork for an eye-popping presentation.

9. 9

   If you want to make 2 or even 3 pork tenderloins, there should be enough marinade in just one recipe to accommodate the extra loins.
