Description

Pork Tenderloin Marinade – the most amazing and flavorful pork tenderloin marinade! Perfect for grilling or smoking your pork tenderloin!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Combine ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, oil, oregano, basil and thyme into small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Place pork tenderloin in a silicone storage bag or gallon-sized plastic bag and pour marinade over top ensuring it is fully coated. Try and remove as much air as possible and close the bag.
  3. Let pork tenderloin marinate for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator, but at least 30 minutes.
  4. Once the tenderloin is done marinating you can remove it from the marinade and cook it however you want, but we recommend grilling it or smoking it!
  5. You can reserve some of the marinade to brush on during the grilling or smoking process of you want, otherwise discard any remaining marinade.

Notes

  • Note: this marinade makes enough for two 1.5-2lb pork tenderloins.
  • How to Cook Pork Tenderloin: we love grilling it or smoking it
  • Paleo/Whole30: if you want to keep this Paleo/Whole30 then simply use a compliant ketchup (check the ingredients) and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Soy Sauce: feel free to use tamari if you want!
  • Extra Flavor: if you want even more flavor feel free to use a tablespoon or two of our pork tenderloin dry rub before marinating!
  • Spice: if you want a little spice you can add a dash of red pepper flakes!
