Ingredients:

• 2 (16 ounce) pork tenderloins, trimmed of fat
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon smooth natural peanut butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Preparation:

• Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag.
• Mix together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, peanut butter, garlic, curry powder, ginger, and salt in a bowl until smooth.
• Pour marinade over tenderloins, press air out of bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• allow to sit at room temperature while the grill is heating.
• Lightly oil grill grate.
• Cook pork 3 minutes on each side (on all four sides) for a total of 12 to 15 minutes.
• The pork will be done when it is no longer pink inside and has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
• Remove from the grill and cover meat loosely with a foil tent.
• Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

notes: we kept what little marinade was left in the bag, added water and then boiled it for 5 minutes, so that we had a sauce to pour on the tenderloins.
