This grilled pork recipe has great marinade ingredients that make the pork flavourful, tender and juicy.
Pork Marinade ingredients:
- Honey- to add sweetness, can be substituted with brown sugar.
- Olive oil- this will help the pork moist while grilling.
- Soy sauce- use low sodium or light soy sauce
- Lemon juice- adding any acidity to the marinade will tenderize the meat. You can substitute with apple cider vinegar, white or red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar.
- Worcestershire sauce
- Grain mustard or use dijon mustard
- Garlic powder or grated fresh garlic
- Smoked paprika, you can substitute regular paprika, add 1/4 tsp. cumin
Optional Herbs add-ins
Dried or fresh Thyme and rosemary to add depth of flavour.
How to make Juicy Grilled Pork
- Mix all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl until blended.
- Place the sliced pork in a container or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the pork and make sure the meat is evenly soaked in the marinade.
- Marinade for at least an hour or overnight for the best flavour and extra juicy meat. Please note the tougher and thicker cut of meat needs to marinate longer.
- Preheat the grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the pork for 4 to 7 minutes or until cook through. Cooking time can vary, depending on the thickness of the pork slices. Use a timer and meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and drying out the meat.
- For thicker slices, finish cooking in preheated oven to 375°F, or close the lid on the BBQ grill until the internal temperature reaches 145°F medium-rare to 160°F medium-well.
- Make sure to cover the pork with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. By doing this, it will release the juice from the meat.
