Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

Instructions
- Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Add the pork tenderloin and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the Pork: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
