Rosemary Garlic Grilled Pork Tenderloin

This is a change of pace for the usual cumin, chili powder or paprika covered tenderloin that I have featured this year. While I love those tastes, I have covered them well already.


I started out with a CI recipe that had ingredients that I wanted but ended up with "drizzling" oil with spices on the cooked meat.  I don't drizzle and adding more oil at the end seemed a little much.

Results:

I like a little more kick but very easy

Notes: This is a recipe that almost anybody would like. So if you're having company with more bland tastes, test this recipe to see if it fits your needs.

Tools: The usual clean and oiled gas grill

Ingredients:

1 Pork tenderloin trimmed of extra fat and silver skin

Rub:
2 T Oil
2 t brown sugar
1/2 t salt
1/2 t dry rosemary
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t coliander
1/2 t parsley flakes
1/4 t pepper

Ingredients:
1) Preheat grill on high. Clean and oil grates.

2) Trim tenderloin of trim-able fat and silverskin.

3) Mix all rub ingredients together well in small bowl.

4) Hand rub mixture over tenderloin

5) Grill tenderloin over direct high heat for 5 minutes per side. Then decrease heat to low on the grilling side and flip ever 4-5 minutes until internal temp of 160.

6) Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
