Not to be confused with pork loin, the pork tenderloin is a griller’s dream — affordable, easy, and a surefire crowd-pleaser. You can grill boneless or bone-in tenderloin with minimal seasoning, but the real magic happens when you pair it with your favorite marinade or sauce.
- Marinating is an optional step, best done the night before grilling. Place the tenderloin and your favorite marinade in a quart-size Glad® Food Storage Bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight if time allows.1
