Maple-Balsamic Pork Tenderloins
2 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloins,
trimmed
1 cup Maple-Balsamic dressing, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking Spray
Maple-Balsamic Dressing
1/2 cup tomato juice or V8
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Slice tenderloins lengthwise,
cutting to, but not through, other side. Open halves, laying
tenderloins flat. Place tenderloins in a large zip-top plastic bag.
Add 1/4 cup Maple-Balsamic Dressing; seal and shake to coat.
Marinate in refrigerator overnight, turning bag occasionally. Spray
grill and set to medium-high heat. Place the remaining 3/4 cup
Maple-Balsamic Dressing in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes or until syrupy. Remove
tenderloins from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle tenderloins
evenly with salt and black pepper. Grill 10 minutes on each side or
until a thermometer registers 160 degrees or until desired degree of
doneness. Remove pork from grill; cover and let stand 5minutes. Cut
pork across grain into thin slices, and drizzle with reduced
Maple-Balsamic Dressing. Yield: 6 servings; serving size: 3 ounces.
Dressing: Combine all ingredients
except oil, stirring well. Gradually add oil, stirring constantly
with a whisk until well combined. Yield: about 1 cup. |
