Garlic-Tamarind Pork Loin
A grilled pork loin with a Southeast Asian-style marinade of lime, soy, garlic, tamarind and sambal oelek. Original recipe yields 2 servings.
Ingredients
| 1/8 cup | 30 ml | lime juice |
| 1/8 cup | 30 ml | soy sauce |
| 3 cloves | garlic, minced | |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | 23 ml | tamarind paste |
| 1 tablespoon | 15 ml | sugar |
| 1 tablespoon | 15 ml | sambal oelek |
| 1 pound | 455 g | pork loin |
Instructions
- Mix lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, tamarind paste, sugar and sambal oelek together in a bowl. Whisk for 1 minute.
- Poke the pork tenderloin with a fork or knife and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag and seal while pressing out the air. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight for best results.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the pork loin from the bag and sear on the preheated grill, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Move to indirect heat until cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes more, depending on thickness.
