Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Asian Flavors

4 servings

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sake or dry sherry
• 11/2 teaspoons honey
• 3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon hot chili paste or crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 pork tenderloins, 3/4-pound to 1 pound each

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sake or sherry, honey, sesame oil and chili paste, if using. Build a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. Put tenderloins on grill over medium-high heat and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and brush with soy glaze. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn and brush again with glaze.

Pull pork off heat to a cooler section of the grill and continue cooking, turning and brushing now and then with glaze, until a good crust has developed and pork's internal temperature is 140 degrees (for medium, 10 to 13 minutes total). Watch meat carefully: The glaze burns easily; pull the meat off the heat if you see it burning. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
