TERIYAKI GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil.
• In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch. While whisking the soy sauce mixture, slowly pour cornstarch mixture into soy sauce mixture. Turn heat down to medium to medium-low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes or so. Let teriyaki sauce cool to room temperature.
• Reserve 1/3 cup of the teriyaki sauce.
• Place remaining teriyaki sauce in a small rimmed pan or low, wide bowl. Pat pork dry and add it to the teriyaki, turning to completely coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove pork from refrigerator and then heat grill to high heat, or 550° F. Make sure grates are scrubbed clean and then oiled. (To oil the grates, add some canola oil to a small bowl. Then fold a heavy paper towel a few times to make a smaller square. With tongs, grasp the folded paper towel and dip it into the oil until the paper towel is drenched. Then run the paper towel over the grates, repeating until all grill grates are thoroughly oiled.)
• Remove pork from teriyaki sauce (then discard the sauce in the pan), drain briefly, but do not scrape off solids. Place pork onto hot oiled grates and cover grill. Sear, without moving, for 4 minutes.
• Brush top of pork generously with reserved teriyaki, flip over and sear opposite side for another 4 minutes, without moving.
• Reduce grill heat to medium-high, between 475° F and 500° F. Brush again with reserved teriyaki, flip tenderloin back to first side, and cook for 6 minutes.
• Brush with reserved teriyaki, flip pork over once more, and cook for another 6 minutes.
• Check internal temperature of pork with an instant read meat thermometer, placing it into the thickest part of the tenderloin. Cooking time will vary depending on size and thickness of the pork, so it's important to monitor the temperature while grilling. When temperature reads 145° F (medium-rare) to 160° F (well), remove pork from heat. Let rest for 3 minutes. The pork will continue to cook while resting, even after being removed from the grill.
• Cut pork into 1/2" to 3/4" slices and place on a platter. Serve with fresh pineapple salsa.
