This grilled marinated pork loin was the best pork we’ve ever had.
(Actually this pork was pretty amazing, too…) The marinade was flavorful and the pork was cooked perfectly! It’s also super simple.
Grilled Marinated Pork Loin
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Pastured/naturally fed and raised pork loin or 2 or 3 if they’re small and your family is big, OR if you like leftovers like we do
- 1/4-1/2 cup fermented soy sauce or however much so it gets all over the meat.
- 1 Tablespoon Caribbean Jerk seasoning It has no MSG or more depending on how much meat - it doesn't have to be exact.
- If I have them I'll throw a bunch of herbs into the marinade, too. Thyme, rosemary, parsley, oregano, just whatever you have.
Instructions
- Slosh all ingredients around in a thick plastic freezer bag and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- Grill slowly so they don’t burn. Kent’s secret, which he learned from my brother-in-law, Jim: put a piece of tin foil down on the grill first so that the flames don’t get right onto the meat and dry it out. That’s always been our problem in the past, getting it overdone and dry, but this worked perfectly!

Pork Tenderloin benefits from indirect grilling. Pour your charcoal on one side of the grill and cook on the alternate side. If you use propane (ick) just turn one side on. This way you avoid cooking on aluminum, which some have health concerns about.
I also swear by the meat thermometer, pork tenderloin grilled indirectly to just 150 will almost always be tender and juicy, even if cooked plain.

Any suggestions on a sub for the soy sauce? I haven’t found a wheat/gluten free brand, and in any case I don’t consume soy…
Thanks for the grilling tip. Drying out has been our problem too, so this is wonderful! Now if the weather would just cooperate! LOL

I’ll bet a good balsamic vinegar would be a yummy substitution!
