Grilled pork tenderloin is a classic recipe, perfect for a summer dinner or an outdoor party. The intense aroma of the marinade combined with the juiciness of the meat will surely impress anyone who tastes it. This simple recipe is ideal for both those cooking for the first time and experienced chefs looking for inspiration.

Necessary ingredients:
- 1 kg pork tenderloin
- 100 ml sweet white wine
- 100 ml soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sunflower oil)
- 1 teaspoon honey (or sugar)
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- A ginger root about 4 cm, grated
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Step 1: Preparing the marinade
In a medium bowl, mix the sweet white wine, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, crushed garlic, and grated ginger. This mixture will give the meat a rich flavor and a sweet-spicy taste. Don’t forget to add freshly ground pepper for an extra kick. Taste the marinade and adjust the spices to your personal preferences.

Step 2: Preparing the meat
Slicing the pork tenderloin is essential to allow the marinade to penetrate well into the meat. Cut the tenderloin into slices about 2-3 cm thick. Make sure to use a sharp knife to achieve even and clean cuts. Place the slices in a container and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 3: Marinating
Cover the container with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. This step is crucial as marinating allows the flavors to develop and penetrate the meat. If you have time, leave it overnight for an even more intense flavor.

Step 4: Grilling
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the slices of tenderloin from the marinade and gently drain them. On the grill, cook the slices of meat for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Use a spatula to carefully turn the meat so it doesn’t break apart.

Step 5: Serving
Once the pork tenderloin is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This step allows the juices to redistribute in the meat, making it juicier. Serve it alongside a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. An interesting idea is to add a yogurt sauce with mint for a refreshing contrast.

Personalized option:
For an even more intense flavor, you can add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or a few drops of Tabasco sauce to the marinade for a spicy kick. You can also replace the white wine with red wine for a different flavor profile.

Now that you have all the necessary information, you are ready to prepare this grilled pork tenderloin. Don’t forget to share the final result with friends and family, as a delicious meal is always better when enjoyed together!
