Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by crushing the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and cloves together in a mortar and pestle. Once crushed, add the paprika, orange juice and zest, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, ketchup, and vinegar to the bowl containing the spices.
    ½ teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, 2 cloves, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 4 tablespoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 4 garlic cloves, 1 bunch fresh thyme leaves, ¾ cup paleo ketchup, 6 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Season your pork tenderloins with salt and pepper, and then apply the marinade to them by rubbing it in. Let the meat marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator, but no more than 8 hours.
    4 lb pork tenderloins, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • When ready to cook, place the tenderloins on a barbecue for approximately 15-20 minutes, rotating them periodically and applying some of the leftover marinade.
  • Once finished cooking, transfer the tenderloins to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with freshly squeezed orange juice.

Notes

  • If your grill runs hot, you can cook this on indirect heat, for 20 to 30 minutes, watching the internal temperature with a thermometer. 
  • Fresh orange and lemon juice are recommended but you can use bottled or a jar of juice if needed, as long as there are no added preservatives. 
  • These can also be cooked in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat on the stove if needed.
