Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2-3 pounds of Pork Tenderloin
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Trim any fat or sinew from the tenderloin, place tenderloin in a Zip-loc bag.
  • Whisk together maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon, olive oil, and pepper, pour over tenderloin and let marinade for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat up grill too around 400 degrees.
  • After tenderloin has marinated for about 15 minutes, remove tenderloin from marinade bag and place on grill. Depending on thickness let tenderloin cook for about 8 minutes per side. Flipping only once.
  • Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1/2 inch medallions.

Maple Dijon Sauce

  • Pour the leftover marinade from the Zip-loc bag in to a sauce pan, cook over medium low heat for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
  • Drizzle over sliced tenderloin.

Notes

Note: Tenderloin is easily over cooked, remember that there is always carry over cooking (the meat will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill) never cut into a piece of meat too early, this allows all the juices an escape route and the meat can become tough and dry.
This meal comes together quite quickly! While meat is marinating you can toss together a salad or roast a vegetable to accompany your meat. If a starch is needed I am never opposed to a crusty loaf of bread ;-)
