Honey-Grilled Pork Loin

Submitted by MelinOhio

"I wanted something different for a cookout. This is so good, if you're having company, you'd better fix two. It's butterflied, so it increases marinated flavor and shortens grilling time. Everyone I fixed this for has asked for the recipe. I marinate in the morning to have ready for dinner."

It's a winner. It was pouring out- so I ended up cooking in the oven. It took about 1 hour 15 minutes at 350. I kept covered in foil with the marinade for the first 45 minutes, then uncovered and poured off most of the marinade and basted with the glaze for the last part. It was yummy. I was afraid it would be too sweet, but the garlic/salt of the marinade helped. Like Kraiz, I also have made this before with all of the ingredients in the marinade, and it turns out nice that way too, just no glaze.

Very good with lots of flavor. I butterflied down the center so some of the glaze worked it's way in the making it even better. The cooking time for me with a 3.3lb loin was 50 minutes. It wasn't even close to done at 20-25, even by sight.

As someone who doesn't really like pork, I completely LOVED this pork loin! That marinade and, oh my word, that sauce!!! Heavenly. I butterflied my loin and cooked it in the oven as it was blowing a gale out and raining, but it still turned out great. I couldn't stop eating it and neither could my fiancé. He kept saying "This is so, so, so delicious!!" high praise from him!

Awesome! I used two tenderloins instead of a loin & marinated it over 24 hours. <br/>I also didn't have honey or sesame oil so I substituted what I had in stock - sugar free pancake syrup & olive oil and it was superb! My hubby who puts Texas Pete on everything didn't even open the bottle and is still singing my praises!

Awesome. I doubled the marinade and glaze ingredients, and used the oven for a little over an hour at 350 instead of the grill. Juicy, tasty, and NO leftovers. For us, that's unreal. Thanx!
