Herb Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Peaches
Herb Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Peaches
As you probably know, pork plays well with fruit, especially fresh peaches. Paired with spices, this Simply Recipes dish really brings together the floral notes from the herbs and the smoky goodness of the pork and peaches.
Herbes de Provence is a mixture of dried herbs typical of the Provence area of France. The mixture in this dish has chervil, basil, rosemary, tarragon, garlic, lavender, marjoram, savory, thyme and parsley. This somewhat floral herb mixture works great with the peaches and the pork. If you don’t have Herbes de Provence, you can use an Italian herb seasoning, or any favorite combination of dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Pre-blended jars of Herbs de Provence can be found in the spice section of your grocery store.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pork tenderloin
- Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp. Herbes de Provence
- 1-2 yellow peaches or nectarines, quartered or cut into thick slices
DIRECTIONS
Coat the tenderloin with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Roll the tenderloin in the herbes de Provence and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Prepare your grill for high direct heat on one side, and low heat on another side. A tenderloin is thick on one end and thin on the other. You will want to cook the thinner end on the cooler side of the grill while the thicker end is on the hot part o the grill.
Grill the tenderloin until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part reads 140°F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest while you cook the peaches.
Paint the peaches with a little olive oil and grill on high direct heat for 1-2 minutes per side, just enough to get some good grill marks.
Slice the tenderloin into 1/4-inch pieces and serve hot with the peaches. Couscous would make a nice starch to serve alongside this tasty meat dish.
