Pork Tenderloin Marinade {contributor Alison}

This recipe requires a tangy marinade as a brine for the pork.

The flavors of balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and Dijon mustard infuse the meat for a taste that is sweet and full of flavor that is sealed in.

So when you get home, the pork tenderloin is ready when you are to go on the grill. It’s easy to prepare and easy to clean up.

Marinating Pork Tenderloin has never been easier!

What is the best way to grill a pork tenderloin?

Grilling on medium low heat will prevent burning the brown sugar and leave a crystallized crust to the meat. Letting the meat rest after grilling helps redistribute and lock in the juices.

This grilled pork tenderloin pairs well with my Mediterranean Couscous with Grilled Vegetables, Lemon & Goat Cheese for a complete meal. Enjoy this dinner outside on the patio with the whole family.
