Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Strawberry BBQ Sauce

Pork tenderloin is one of the leanest cuts of meat, yet I find it to be one of the most flavorful – especially when grilled. I lightly coated mine with a dry rub to add an extra kick. The fresh strawberry bbq sauce sends the flavor over the edge! Serve with grilled veggies or a leafy green salad.



1. Combine sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until strawberries break down slightly, then transfer to a blender and process until smooth. Set aside.

2. Combine chili powder, garlic powder, salt and brown sugar in a small bowl. Rub over the pork tenderloin.

3. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Place tenderloin on the grill and cook for 6 minutes (keep the lid shut); flip and grill for 6 minutes longer. Turn the heat off and leave the lid closed for 5 minutes.

4. Remove pork from heat and rest for 10 minutes, then slice. Top with BBQ sauce and serve.
