Step 1.
Prepare a medium-hot grill fire. Pat dry: One 1- to 1 ½-pound pork tenderloin
-
Step 2.
Season with: 1 teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper
-
Step 3.
If the tenderloin is much thinner at one end, fold the thin end back along the roast and tie with two lengths of butcher’s twine. Grill, turning every 2 minutes or so, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 140°F, 12 to 15 minutes (the temperature will rise 5 degrees off the grill). Loosely cover with foil and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with: A barbecue sauce, Mojo, Chimichurri, or Vinaigrette
