Ingredients

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped (1 1/2 teaspoons)

Pork

  • 3 pork tenderloins (3/4 lb each), trimmed of fat

Salsa

  • 2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

    In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix marinade ingredients. Place pork tenderloins in bag; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight to marinate, turning bag over once or twice.

    To cook with indirect heat, move partially cooked pork to unheated side of two-burner gas grill or over drip pan on charcoal grill. (If using one-burner gas grill, cook over low heat.) Cover grill; cook 25 to 30 minutes longer or until pork has slight blush of pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F.
