Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------
Marinade:
2/3 cup molasses
2 cups Merlot
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
4 large cloves garlic, sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2-3 pork tenderloins, or 1 boneless pork loin (2 to 2 1/2 pounds), well trimmed
In a small bowl, combine marinade ingredients and mix well. Place the pork in a large, non-reactive bowl and cover with the marinade. Set aside in refrigerator for at least 3 hours ( it can marinate overnight).
Prepare a medium-sized fire in your grill. Remove pork from the marinade and place on grill over hot, glowing coals until cooked through, turning to cook evenly, 20-25 minutes for the loin and 12-15 minutes for the tenderloins, or until a meat thermometer registers 140 degrees. Let the pork rest for approximately 10 minutes before cutting it into thin slices. Serve warm or at room temperature.
