Honey Soy Glazed Pork Tenderloin Recipe
This tasty Honey Soy Glazed Pork Tenderloin Recipe is quick and easy enough for a weeknight meal and fabulous enough for a weekend celebration.
Around here our grill gets a workout all year long. Even still, when the weather turns even the slightest bit warmer our grilling, or should I say, Randy’s grilling, kicks up a notch and just about every meal involves the grill. I’m not complaining one bit. Randy is a magnificent grill master. Lucky me!
Even though his Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings are crowd pleasing, grilled pork tenderloin, like this Honey Soy Glazed Pork Tenderloin, is right up there in the taste department. Plus, it couldn’t be easier to prepare. It’s so very easy! Really.
The simple marinade can be whipped up a day before to let the tenderloin(s) mingle a while until ready to grill. Over the years we’ve tried countless marinade combinations for chicken and pork. Honey and soy seem to be a regular contributor to most of them. Their flavors partner so well together. The sweet honey with that umami thing that soy has going on … yum! Add in a little garlic, ginger and lime juice and you’ve got yourself a flavor party! (Speaking of a flavor party, check out this recipe for Easy Garlic Ginger Glazed Sticky Pork from my friend Rebecca at Foodie with Family.)
I think you’ll find this Honey Soy Glazed Pork Tenderloin Recipe will become a regular part of your meal repertoire for any night of the week. Serve it with roasted broccoli or a fabulous salad for quick and tasty meal. Try it soon and let me know what you think!

Ingredients
For the marinade:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced (or substitute ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger

- 1/4 cup soy
Instructions
- Add to a large zip-top plastic bag the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, ground ginger, and ground pepper. Stir/shake together. Add tenderloin(s) and turn to coat all sides. Seal bag refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to grill, up to a day.
- When ready to grill, preheat grill to medium heat. Whisk together glaze ingredients. Set aside.
- When grill is preheated, place tenderloin(s) on hot grill. Cook on each side for about 5 minutes, then turn 1/4 (quarter) turn. Repeat for all sides.
- Cook until meat thermometer reads 145-degrees F in the thickest part of the tenderloin(s)
- When done brush generously with glaze. Let cook for another minute or two, be watchful that glaze does not burn.
- Remove from heat and let tenderloin(s) rest covered for about about 10-15 minutes before slicing. Drizzle sliced meat with any remaining glaze.

Your pictures are stunning! What a gorgeous meal. We can grill year-round too and I’m sure my husband would love to make this!!
Already told Jac about this. He’s the griller in our house, and he sounds pretty excited about it. 🙂
Honey! I like it! So, l also like this food. Looking at the picture! I want to eat it right now! It looks very delicious! Thank your recipe! I will try doing next week.
This was very tasty!!! We all loved it and it will be repeated! Thank you for a great recipe!
This pork recipe sounds great and one I will try soon. Because I have no access to a grill, I will probably cook this in my Dutch oven in the oven. With all the tasty ingredients, how can I go wrong. Thanks.
Can this recipe be roasted in the oven? If so, what temp and for how long?
I would roast at 350-degrees F until meat thermometer reads 145-degrees F in the thickest part of the tenderloin, maybe about 25-30 minutes? I would start checking temp at about 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the tenderloin.
I made this pork tenderloin tonight for supper and it was delicious.
Can I use a small pork shoulder picnic roast oven or grill? Any ideas??
We pan seared and then finished tenderloins in the oven-so tasty!!! Love this- added a pinch of ground ginger to the glaze. Great flavor!! Thank you for the recipe!!
uhmmmmm, how much pork?
Couldn’t believe how tender the pork tenderloins were. The flavor was spot on. I did a trial run for husband and I last week, making again for dinner guests this weekend. This is going to be my summer company go-to Grilled Pork.
I am confused by the ingredient “soy” for the glaze. Do you mean soy sauce?
I would like to pan sear (in cast iron) this and then finish in the oven. How long and how high to pan sear and how long and how high in the oven after the sear? I have about a 2 lb. tenderloin. TIA
All I could taste was the soy I’m not big fan of this recipe. Marinated overnight…i almost think orange juice would have been better instead of lime…i dunno it looked really good when I grilled over 350 degree bbq.
