This pork tenderloin is cooked with pineapple and its juice. 🍍 The sweet-and-savory mix keeps the meat very tender.

Good to know

Chef's tip

For even more tender meat, you can let the tenderloins marinate overnight in the refrigerator 💤! And for more flavor, add a little pineapple juice to the marinade 🍍🔥.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good frozen cooked, up to 3 months in airtight bags or containers.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Make the marinade the day before to save time and let the flavors soak in better.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat in the oven for 15 min at 150°C. Microwave possible for 2-3 min at medium power. In a saucepan, reheat gently with a splash of water to prevent drying out.

Variations

Extend the marinade to up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Add the juice of half a lime.
Garnish with fresh rosemary.

Mistakes to avoid

Skipping the marinade: marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, 1 hour is better.
Grilling on a grate that isn't hot: lightly oil the very hot grate.
Adding the pineapple too early: put it on for the last 5 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

How do you grill pork tenderloin on the barbecue?

Brush the tenderloins with the marinade, let marinate in the fridge, oil the very hot grate, and cook about 12 minutes per side until golden and lightly caramelized.

How do you make the marinade?

Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 of soy sauce, 1 of honey, 1 teaspoon of paprika, salt, pepper and the lime juice. Add the rosemary on top of the meat.

When do you add the pineapple?

Place the pineapple slices on the grate for the last 5 minutes of cooking and turn them halfway through to caramelize them lightly.

How long should you marinate the pork?

Let it marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes, or even 1 hour if you have time, before grilling. The soy, honey and paprika marinade keeps the sweet-and-savory balance.
