East-West Grilled Pork Tenderloin

From Weber's Real Grilling.

Serves: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes / Total grilling time: 15 to 20 minutes

Sauce
1 Tbs. dark sesame oil
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup cola
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbs. soy sauce
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. granulated garlic or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce

2 pork tenderloins, 1 lb. each
2 Tbs. dark sesame oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Allow the tenderloins to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the tenderloins and coat them evenly with the sesame oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook until the onion begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F).

Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the tenderloins over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until well marked on two sides, about 5 minutes, turning once. Brush the tenderloins with a thin coating of the sauce and continue to grill until the pork is barely pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes, turning and basting with the remaining sauce every 5 minutes. Let rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing on the bias. Serve warm.
