My girlfriend just had a sweet baby boy! I volunteered to bring her dinner tonight! This is actually her third, so I wanted to make something that could be appealing to kids and adults, that wasn’t another casserole. It was an incredible day today, perfect for barbecuing! We had a pork tenderloin, so I quickly threw together this marinade (and as always, measurements are guesstimates:):
1 cup of orange juice
2 tablespoons of agave nectar (brown sugar would be a great substitute)
1/4 of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of rice vinager
1 teaspoon of powder ginger (if you have the real thing, even better!)
1 tablespoon of orange marmalade (optional, I’ve done this marinade several times without it, and it still turns out awesome!)
I put the marinade in a large zip-lock with chunks of pork tenderloin that I had stabbed with a fork to soak up all the juices! The pork ended up marinading in the fridge for about 6 hours before being cooked on the grill. The flavor was awesome, and my girlfriend told me she and her husband liked it and the kids wanted seconds:) Everyone loves a good BBQ! And ’tis the season! Cheers!
