Ingredients

  • cup lime juice

  • cup soy sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ tablespoons tamarind paste

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek

  • 1 pound pork loin

Directions

  1. Mix lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, tamarind paste, sugar, and sambal oelek together in a bowl. Whisk for 1 minute. Poke pork tenderloin with a fork or knife and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into the bag and seal while pressing out the air. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight for best results.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Remove pork loin from the bag and sear on the preheated grill, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Move to indirect heat until cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes more, depending on thickness.
