Molasses Pork Tenderloin with Red Wine Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/4 cups molasses
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 3 (3/4-pound) pork tenderloins
• Red Wine Sauce (optional)

Preparation

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a shallow dish or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add tenderloins. Cover or seal, and chill 8 hours.
2. Remove tenderloins from marinade, discarding marinade.
3. Grill tenderloins, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160°, turning occasionally. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Red Wine Sauce, if desired.
4. Note: Tenderloins may be pan seared in a hot skillet to brown and then baked at 375° for 15 to 20 minutes.
