• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• Sauce

• 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
• 1⁄2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
• 1⁄2 cup cola
• 1⁄2 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

• Remaining Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloin, about 1 pound each
• 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper

directions

1. Make the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil.
2. Add in the onion; cook until the onion begins to brown, 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add in the remaining sauce ingredients; simmer 5-10 minutes; remove from the heat.
4. Let the tenderloins stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
5. Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloins; coat them evenly with the sesame oil.
6. Season generously with salt and pepper; grill over direct medium heat until well marked on two sides, about 5 minutes, turning once.
7. Using a brush, cover the tenderloins with a thin coating of the sauce and continue to grill until the pork is barely pink in the center, 10-15 minutes, turning and basting with the remaining sauce every 5 minutes.
8. Let rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing on the bias; serve warm.

These were so easy to make and a bonus for us when the power was out & I had to grill outside:) I made the sauce on the side burner of our gas barbque. Another keeper for me :)
