Instructions
Preparation and Marinading
- In a bowl, combine the beer, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, spices, and herbs. Mix everything together until combined. From the marinade, reserve about 1/2 cup of the marinade and place it in a seperate container to use as a sauce for later.
- Remove the pork tenderloin from the packaging and pat it dry to remove excess moisture. With a sharp nice, slice the pork tenderloin into 1.5-2 inch thick round medallions.
- Place the pork medallions into the large bowl of the marinade mixture, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Grilling Instructions:
- Preheat the grill to 225 F. and set it for two zone cooking.
- Pour the reserved marinade mixture into a small pot and place it on the stove to reduce on medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook down until it's thick and syrup like, about 8 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the sugar isn't burning.
- Next, remove the pork medallions from the marinade. Discard the excess and pat the medallions dry again to remove the moisture on the outside.
- Lightly coat the medallions in a thin layer of olive oil and season on all sides with coarse salt and pepper.
- Place the medallions onto the grill grates over indirect heat to smoke and take on flavor. Flip them after 12-15 minutes for even color. Lightly baste the outsides in the reserved and reduced marinade mixture as desired. Cook the medallions until they reach an internal temperature if 145 F. While time will vary this should take 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the pork tenderloins from the grill and serve with your favorite sides. Pour any remaining reduced sauce over the top and enjoy.
Notes
If you plan on making a larger amount of medallions, double the marinade mixture.
