Pork Tenderloin

Seasonal Vegetables

Balsamic Reduction

Method

Preparing the Pork Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 200°C/400°F).

  3. 3

    Grill the Pork

    Place the marinated pork tenderloin on the grill. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).

  4. 4

    Rest the Pork

    Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into strips. Trim the ends of the asparagus.

  2. 6

    Toss with Olive Oil and Seasoning

    In a bowl, combine the chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, and asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 7

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill alongside the pork. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.

Making the Balsamic Reduction

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey.

  2. 9

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

  3. 10

    Cool the Reduction

    Remove from heat and let the balsamic reduction cool slightly before serving.
