Grilled Garlic Basil Pork Tenderloin
This is another favorite for me. simple, lean, healthy and inexpensive. goes well with green beans and perhaps a grilled vidalia onion.
Steps
Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the tenderloins and place in a gallon size zip-loc bag.
Add the olive oil , garlic and basil , evacuate most of the air and seal the bag.
Message until the garlic and basil is evenly distributed around the meat and refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
Remove the tenderloins from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to grilling.
Preheat the grill to allow searing to take place.
Sear the tenderloins for 2 minutes on each side to seal in the juices and to provide grill marks.
Reduce heat and grill for an additional 14-16 minutes turning after 7-8 minutes depending on how large your tenderloins are and how well done you like your pork.
This entree goes very well with fresh green beans and a grilled vidalia onion.
