How To Make grilled pork tenderloin with chili maple glaze
-
Step 1In a bowl large enough to hold pork covered with water, stir together salt and water until salt is dissolved. Add pork, making sure it is completely covered by brine. Marinate pork, covered and chilled, 1 day.
-
Step 2Prepare grill.
-
Step 3In a small bowl stir together the syrup and chili powder.
-
Step 4Discard brine and diagonally cut pork into 3/4-inch pieces.
-
Step 5Put 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.
-
Step 6Grill pork on a lightly oiled rack set 5-6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through 2-3 minutes on each side.
-
Step 7Brush 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).
