Grilled Pork Tenderloin

This recipe for Grilled Pork Tenderloin is a summertime favourite around here. It has a delicious dry rub all over and a brushing of red pepper jelly. The recipe calls for two pork tenderloins which, for us, means we have leftovers for lunch the next day. I watch for pork tenderloin to go on sale and stock up my freezer at the beginning of summer.

This makes delicious sandwiches as well and can be served on warmed buns. Combine 1/4 cup of Ranch dressing with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce and drizzle on top of sandwich. Delicious!
