Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin has a sweet and savory marinade that adds a beautiful flavor to this recipe. It’s juicy, tender, and versatile.

Pork tenderloin comes from the full pork loin. It is the tenderest cut of pork. It’s the same cut of beef that’s referred to as the beef filet, one of the most popular steaks in restaurants. A pork tenderloin usually weighs between 3/4 pounds to 1.5 pounds. They usually come two to a pack at grocery stores.

Prok tenderloin is mild flavored and lean. For this reason, pork tenderloin is best when marinaded and seasoned well.

My Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin has a earthy, complex flavor. Molasses adds a sweetness while still adding a richness and, in my opinion, is  a great ingredient with pork.

This marinade also has oil that keeps the tenderloin from drying out.

My 9 year old son has learned to grill! As well, he’s a very picky eater, but if he cooks something, he’ll eat it. It’s a great strategy because he now eats fish, shrimp, and burgers if he grills them. I’m allowing him to grill everything!
