Fresh strawberries star in this savory entree of Pepper-crusted Pork Tenderloin with Strawberry-Balsamic Sauce. We love the Strawberry-Balsamic Sauce over the grilled pork but turn the sauce into a staple by serving it over main dish salads and other grilled meats. Ingredients:
2 (1- to 1 1/2-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed |
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 shallot, minced |
1/2 cup chicken stock or chicken broth |
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons light brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
8 ounces strawberries, hulled and chopped |
hot cooked rice (optional) |
2 green onions, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350° to 400°) or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork evenly with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Grill pork, covered, turning once, 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 145°. Cover pork loosely with aluminum foil; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken stock and next 3 ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in strawberries, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes or until berries soften and mixture thickens slightly. Spoon sauce over sliced pork and rice, if desired. Sprinkle with green onions.
