Spicy Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Many years ago my friend Connie gave me a variation of this recipe.  The reason why I say variation is because I always seem to change a recipe up a bit and make it mine. I must have made this pork tenderloin recipe 100 times and I never get tired of it. This is a great go to "What should I make?" recipe. It's easy, can be served hot or cold and makes great leftovers too. The last time I made it, I grilled some veggies and it was perfect!

¼ c. soy sauce

2 T. fresh squeezed lime juice

2 T. honey

3 T. brown sugar

1 t. ground cumin
1 t. dry mustard
5 cloves garlic minced
½ t. paprika
2 T. cilantro chopped
12 oz. pork tenderloin

Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake it up. Reserve 1/4 of the marinade to use for basting. Place marinade and pork tenderloin in a zipper bag.  Marinate for 30-60 minutes at least.  Overnight is better.  Prepare grill or preheat broiler.  Cook until temperature registers to 160° using reserved marinade to baste.  Slice crosswise in thin slices. Can be served warm or cold.
