Ingredients

Pork Tenderloin

  • 2 pork tenderloins rinsed and patted dry (1 package)
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 small jalapeno minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Spicy Fresh Cherry Salsa

  • 3 cups fresh cherries pitted and quartered
  • 1 small jalapeno minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • ¼ fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

Pork Tenderoin

  • In a plastic resealable bag (or plastic container with a lid) add the pork and the remaining ingredients.  Seal the bag and turn it a few times to coat the meat with the marinade.  Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  Turning occasionally.
  • Heat the grill to medium high heat.  Remove the tenderloins from the bag and remove most but not all of the marinade.  Grill for 8 minutes, turn and grill for another 7-8 minutes.  Remove to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil.  Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the tenderloins into medallions and serve with the Spicy Fresh Cherry Salsa

Spicy Fresh Cherry Salsa

  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients together.  Allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Note: you could also put the Cherries into a food processor and chop coarsely for a less chunky salsa.  This method would produce a fantastic salsa for dipping chips or veggies into.
