It’s hard to beat tenderloin on the grill.

Honey Ginger Glazed Pork

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

¾ teaspoon ground ginger

¾ pound pork tenderloin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat grill. To make glaze, combine honey, mustard, oil, garlic, ginger. Remove fat from pork. Butterfly it by cutting tenderloin almost in half lengthwise. Do not cut it all the way through. Open pork so it’s flat and salt and pepper both sides. Place pork on grill; cook 5 minutes. Turn meat over and spoon some of glaze on cooked side. Grill 5 more minutes or until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Remove pork from heat. Spoon remaining glaze on top. Slice and serve.
