Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• pork tenderloin
• grill
• italian dressing
• tongs

1. Grilled pork tenderloin is one of my favorite meals, and even better, is quite easy to make. With these few steps, you will be on your way to a delicious meal. To start, take your pork tenderloin, and marinate it in italian dressing. Let it marinate for at least one hour if you can. Now when you are ready, heat up your grill (gas or charcoal). If your grill is charcoal, make sure that one side of the grill has a larger pile of charcoal so that it will be much hotter than the other side. If you are using a gas grill, turn the heat up as high as it will go to get the grill as hot as possible.
2. Now that your pork tenderloin is marinated, place the tenderloin on the hot part of the grill (if using a gas grill, find the hot spot). Let one side cook till the outside of the tenderloin begins have dark, burned marks where it was sitting on the grill. Then flip the tenderloin to the other side and do the same thing. This will sear the outside of the meat and lock in all of the juices to produce a juicy tenderloin.
3. Now if using a gas grill, turn the heat down, and if using a charcoal grill, move the tenderloin to the cooler side of the grill. This will slow-cook the meat until it is done all the way through, without burning the outside. What you are finished with, is an aboslutely wonderful cut of pork tenderloin, that I like to cut in about half inch thick discs (turn the tenderloin where each end is to your left and right). Also, do not be afraid to experiment with the other spices or sauces, as cooking the tenderloin will never change. Following these simple steps for me, has now become an every Saturday ritual, and I would be very disappointed to go without.
