  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • In a small bowl mix together the teriyaki marinade until combined don’t add the cornstarch yet.
  • Place the pork tenderloin in a large ziplock bag or bowl.
  • Pour half of the marinade over the tenderloin and place into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavor.
  • In a small bowl add the cornstarch with 3 teaspoons water and whisk.
  • Heat the remaining marinade on medium high heat and whisk in the cornstarch slurry until it begins to simmer then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until thickened about 3-5 minutes.
  • Heat a gas grill or charcoal grill on medium high heat and place the tenderloin over direct heat and sear 3-4 minutes, flip the tenderloin and sear another 3-4 minutes. Brush both sides of the tenderloin with the teriyaki sauce.
  • Move the tenderloin to indirect heat and cook another 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.

NOTES

I like to marinate the tenderloin overnight for the best flavor.

The cooking time can very depending on how hot your grill is.I highly recommend using a meat thermometer so you dont overcook your pork. Pork is done at 145 degrees and can be slightly pink.
