This pork should marinade for 12 to 24 hours. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavor the pork tenderloin absorbs.

Note: Save a tiny portion of the marinade to sprinkle over the finished meal to add flavor. Place the pork tenderloin in a small container and keep away until ready to use.

Preparing the Adobo Pork Tenderloin for Grilling

Eliminate the pork tenderloin from the refrigerator about an hour before grilling to remove the cold.

Start your grill and wait for it to heat up. Allow coals to burn until they form a white ash layer if using charcoal.

A red hot charcoal grill is used to prepare grilled adobo pork tenderloin.
Cover and allow to heat up for a few minutes once your charcoal is ready.

Next, rub the grate with vegetable oil (be careful, it may catch fire) and set the pork tenderloin in the center of the grill.

After removing it from the grill, place it on a chopping board and lay aside for 10 minutes before slicing. This will enable the adobo pork tenderloin to cool down and redistribute the liquids, keeping the meat juicy.

After it has rested for a while, slice it to your chosen thickness and serve with your favorite side dish.

With the tang of the lime and cilantro from the rice, you’ve got all that smokey, spicy grilled adobo pork loin. It was such a beautiful bite, man! Some things are just meant to be together. If you prepare this, don’t forget to make the rice!
If you want to amp up the adobo flavor even more, sprinkle some of the optionally saved marinade over the sliced charred adobe barbecued pork tenderloin. Both are fantastic.
