Sunday Supper...Balsamic Grilled Rosemary Pork Tenderloin...
Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 02:00AM
I shared last week that Sister and I are searching for lower carb recipes these days...Talena's son is a trainer and he has us on quite an excercise and eating regimen right now. We are trying to change the way we eat and become healthier vs. diet... I have to admit that I'm feeling better already.
We are working out pretty hard so our diet is high in protein...
This pork tenderloin from Recipe Girl is fabulous.
If you didn't try the chicken with balsamic, tomatoes and feta from last Sunday...you have to try it. It is delicious and this appears to be another winner...Click here.
This pork tenderloin recipe turns out so tender and moist.
It's great for grilling.
Ingredients
4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 Tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juic
1 Tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 Tablespoon sea s
2 pounds pork tenderloin
Directions:
1. Combine marinade ingredients in a large zip baggie. Add tenderloin and massage to work marinade into meat. Refrigerate in marinade for at least 6 hours.
2. When ready to grill, take zip bag out of refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat grill to medium-high. When ready to grill, oil the grate and wipe down to remove any residue so grates are clean. Remove pork from marinade and arrange on grill. Brown on all sides and cook through (firm to the touch), 8 to 12 minutes total, or until internal temperature in center reaches 150°F.
3. Remove tenderloin from grill and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
We've spent the entire weekend working in the garden...
we will definitely eat outside tonight, and enjoy some of the fruits of our labor...

That roast looks wonderful! Our whole family including Dylan dog have been trying to get healthier via diet and exercise this past year, we're all aging and want to stay upright. I've been working in the gardens this weekend and have another day today. I'm trying to get them ready for their debut this summer and love getting my hands back into the spoil.
Enjoy you Sunday Mona!

That sounds good. I have never grilled pork. I will have to try this one.
It is so easy to get out of shape and eat the wrong things. Since finding out that I have high blood pressure I am restricted to 2000 mg of sodium a day and have to take medication for it. It may sound like 2000 mg of sodium is a lot but believe me it isn't. I am following the Dr. Dash Diet of loads of vegetables and fruits which have little if any sodium. I am amazed at the amount of sodium in the things we eat!! Besides restricting my sodium, I have to count calories and loose weight too. I am already feeling better!
The recipe looks wonderful!
Kris, Glad to hear that you are feeling better...I'm waiting for that feeling of craving vegetables vs. carbs to kick in. Hasn't happened yet!
Everytime I read about your "Sunday Supper". I get hungry. Course not hungry enough to cook apparently :)
Smells like another winner!!!
And so easy to do!
Spent the entire day on my hands and knees in the flower beds yesterday.
Feeling pretty stiff this morning... Guess non of us are 29 anymore.

Cheers,

Mona,
You just provided me with a recipe for an upcoming dinner I'm hosting. I knew I wanted to prepare grilled pork tenderloin (they are so consistently tender and delicious) but I was planning on using a marinade I've used for years. I wanted something new and different and planned to begin a search this week. Thanks for saving me the trouble.
I love the image of the table, the view and the special guest!

Looks amazing! I will have to try this, Mona. I love balsamic vinegar and rosemary, so I am certain this will be a favorite.
I wish I was motivated to do more working out than I do, so my hat is off to you two!
Have a wonderful week, and thank you so much for your kind get well.
Happy Monday.

I have tried many of your recipes, Mona, so I know I will soon do this one. Come over to help me select my Derby dress, and go to Tina's place, she's doing a giveaway of a piece of my jewelry. Sending love to both of you, and see you tomorrow for BIO.
This dish sounds fantastic!!! And I love the outdoor eating space..cute pup!
