Pork Tenderloin Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Apricot-Serrano Salsa Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh apricots, diced (about 3 apricots)
- cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- cup fresh lime juice
- 1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
- red onion, finely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Create an irresistible marinade by whisking together honey, balsamic vinegar, ancho chile powder, and minced garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Season your pork with salt and pepper, seal it in the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor development.
- While the pork marinates, prepare your vibrant salsa by combining diced apricots, cilantro, lime juice, serrano pepper, and red onion in a bowl. Season to taste and refrigerate until serving time.
- Heat your grill to medium-high temperature.
- Grill the pork tenderloin by rotating it through all four sides, cooking each for about 5 minutes until an instant-read thermometer reaches 150F. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing to lock in its natural juices.
- Plate your perfectly grilled pork and crown it with the bright, zesty apricot-serrano salsa for a restaurant-quality dish your guests will love.
