Pork Tenderloins With Balsamic Strawberries
- 3-lb package pork tenderloins
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp kosher salt, divided
- 10 bacon slices
- 2 8 oz pkgs haricot vert (thin green beans)
- 2 tsp olive oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, divided (or more for my taste)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup quartered fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves
- Preheat grill to high
- Sprinkle pork with pepper and 1 tsp salt, wrap 5 bacon slices around each tenderloin and secure with wooden picks
- Place green beans, 1 tbs olive oil, 2 garlic cloves (I would use lots more garlic!) and remaining 1 tsp salt in center of 24x18 in piece of heavy aluminum foil, toss to coat. Fold up edges and make a sealed packet
- Turn off one side of grill. Arrange pork and foil packet over unlit side, grill covered 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mince remaining 2 garlic cloves and saute in remaining 1 tbs olive oil over med heat until golden, 2-3 minutes. Add vinegar, bring to a boil and and boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in preserves. Reserve half this mixture for basting, and stir the fresh strawberries into the other half.
- Remove foil packet from grill, move the pork to the lit side. Baste pork with reserved strawberry mixture, grill 5 more minutes, turning once.
- Reserve 2nd tenderloin for Pork Pesto Panini (see recipe)
