Marinate the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill the Pork: Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Grill the pork for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices within the meat. Garnish and Enjoy: Slice the pork and serve it on a platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Enjoy your sweet and spicy grilled orange pork with a side of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or rice. This recipe balances the sweetness of the orange and honey with a spicy kick from the red pepper flakes, creating a flavorful and satisfying dish. Enjoy!
