How To Make grilled pork tenderloin with chili maple glaze

  • 4
    Discard brine and diagonally cut pork into 3/4-inch pieces.
  • 5
    Put pork between sheets of plastic wrap and flatten with a rolling pin to make 1/4-inch thick cutlets. Pat pork dry and season with salt.
  • 6
    Grill pork on a lightly oiled rack set 5-6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • 7
    Brush pork with glaze and grill 15 seconds more on each side. (Alternatively, pork may be grilled in a hot well seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat).
