Balsamic Garlic pork tenderloin

Options
This is so good. The recipe can be found at:
 https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/grilled-balsamic-garlic-pork-tenderloin/

I make a few changes. I sprinkle a little Kosher salt on the tenderloin, wrapped it in wax paper and plastic wrap for at least 12 hours before cooking (dry brine). After 12, I unwrap it and put it in another plastic bag.Then I add the olive oil , balsamic vinegar( 1 TBS of each) and garlic. The vinegar I use is the expensive aged stuff. You can use 2 crushed cloves of garlic or 2 tsp of minced garlic, which is what I did this time. Let the tenderloin sit in that mix for at least an hour. Heat you egg to 400 to 500 deg F direct. Pull the tenderloin out of the bag and put on the grill, don't rince.Turn every 4 min for about 20 min.Check it looking for a temperature of 145 . Let it rest for 5 minuets We had it with some spiced peaches and a salad. This was a 1.4 lb tenderloin, dinner for two plus lunch for one. I think the key to making this taste so good it the dry brine which keeps it moist and the really good vinegar.

    Love pork tenderloin... this sounds delicious!! Thanks for posting.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
