Good questions, answered.

How do I know the pork tenderloin is done?

It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F; let it rest 5 minutes before slicing for the juiciest results.

Can I grill this instead of using the oven?

Yes, grill over medium heat, turning occasionally and basting with the glaze, until it reaches 145°F.
