Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Strawberry Sauce
YIELD Serves 6.
This is my second strawberry recipe of the week but I simply couldn't resist. We're not a big meat eating family but my husband does have a thing for pork tenderloin so once in a blue moon I'll make one. Pork tenderloin has long been known for how easily it is prepared so it's great for a weekday meal but at the same time it's a good quality cut of meat that usually comes out well. Pork in general takes well to the play on sweet and savory and that's why I thought it a good candidate for my strawberry sauce. The sauce is easy to make. I think it would also be a good match for a creamy brie. Simply spread it atop a dollop of creamy brie and a cracker and you've set yourself up for a pretty elegant snack.
INGREDIENTS
| 1 cup | local, organic strawberries |
| 2 tbsp | organic olive oil |

PREPARATION:
Method
- Wash, remove stems, and dice the strawberries.
- Begin to cook the berries in olive oil over low heat.

- Let sit for 20 minutes. Slice and top with strawberry sauce.
