FRESH HERB PORK TENDERLOIN with GRILLED PEACHES
~ Perfect summer fare while peaches are at their peak
2 well-trimmed pork tenderloins
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
3 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves minced garlic
fresh ground pepper to taste
1 tsp. kosher or sea salt
4 peaches cut into thick slices
juice of a fresh lemon
extra-virgin olive oil
- Combine thyme, rosemary and fresh garlic.
- Coat tenderloin with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Roll tenderloins in fresh herb mixture. Set aside to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or place in refrigerator for several hours. Let come to room temp before grilling.
- Grill tenderloin until meat thermometer inserted into center reads 140º, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and let rest while you cook the peaches.
