How To Make pork tenderloins with balsamic strawberries and le
-
Step 1Preheat grill to 400 to 500 degrees (high heat). Sprinkle pork with the pepper and 1 tsp salt; wrap 5 bacon slices around each tenderloin, and secure with wooden picks.
-
Step 2Place green beans, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, and remaining 1 tsp salt in the center of a 24 x 18 inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil; toss to coat. Bring up sides of foil over the beans; double fold the top and side edges to seal, making a packet.
-
Step 3If using a charcoal grill, move coals to one side. If using a gas grill, turn off one side of the grill. Arrange the pork and foil packet over the unlit side, and grill, covered with grill lid, for 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Step 4Meanwhile, mince remaining 2 garlic cloves; saute in remaining 1 tbsp hot olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Add the vinegar; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in preserves. Reserve half of the mixture for basting. Stir the fresh strawberries into the remaining mixture.
-
Step 5Remove the foil packet from the grill. Transfer thepork to the lit side of the grill. Baste pork with the reserved strawberry mixture. Grill for 5 more minutes over the lit side, turning once. Remove the pork from the grill; reserve 1 tenderloin for the "Leftover Recipe". Slice the remaining tenderloin, and serve with strawberry mixture and green beans.
-
Step 6For the Leftover Recipe: Cut the reserved pork from the recipe into 18 thin slices.
-
Step 7Cut the drained peppers into 6 pieces.
-
Step 8Spread 2 teaspoons of pesto on one side of each slice of artisan bread. Top with 3 pork slices, a red bell pepper piece, a havarti cheese slice, and the other bread slice.
-
Step 9Cook in a preheated panini press 2 to 3 minutes or until golden on each side. Enjoy
