Directions: |
Directions:1. Prepare mojo: Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cumin. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and pale golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the lime and orange juices, salt, pepper, and oregano and 1/3 Cup water. Bring sauce to a rolling boil. Let cool to room temperature. Stir in the cilantro.
2. Arrange tenderloins in a baking dish or place in a large Ziploc bag. Pour half the mojo over the pork and let marinate, covered, in refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Turn occasionally.
3. Preheat grill to medium to cook the tenderloins using the indirect method.
4. Arrange tenderloins and grill for 30-40 minutes. To test for doneness, insert meat thermometer in the thickest part of the meat. The temperature should be about 160º F.
5. Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board and let rest for 3 minutes. Slice the tenderloins crosswise on the diagonal. Spoon reserved mojo over them. |
