Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Strawberries

Juicy, tender pork tenderloins are grilled to perfection, and served with a sweet sauce made with strawberries and balsamic vinegar. The marriage of these flavors are what makes these pork tenderloins so delicious.

My husband loves to wrap his meats with either bacon, or prosciutto di Parma.  They give the meat a crispy crust, along with that smoky-flavor we all love and adore.

That’s the flavor of these pork tenderloins!

How To Make Pork Tenderloins with Balsamic Strawberries?

These pork tenderloins are first wrapped with bacon, then grilled on the grill for 30 minutes. After, they are sliced and served with a sweet fruity sauce made with strawberries and balsamic. The sauce is made to drizzle on top when serving.

Ingredients You Will Need:

• 1 package pork tenderloins (about 3 pounds)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 10 bacon slices
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup strawberry preserves
• 1/2 cup quartered fresh strawberries

Directions To Make These Pork Tenderloins:

Our full recipe card is located at the bottom. But first, let’s run through our steps you will know what’s involved before you begin.

1.  Preheat the GRILL on high heat, about 400 to 500 degrees F.
2.  Season each pork tenderloin with some pepper and salt. Then wrap 5 bacon slices (or more if needed) around each tenderloin, and secure with wooden toothpicks.

3.  Turn off one side of the grill.  Arrange pork over the unlit side, and grill, covered with grill lid, for about 25 to 30 minutes.

4.  Meanwhile, mince 2 garlic cloves. Sauté in olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until golden.  Add the balsamic vinegar, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.  Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in preserves.  Reserve half of the mixture for basting.  Stir fresh strawberries into the remaining mixture.

5.  Transfer pork to the lit side.  Baste the pork with reserved strawberry mixture.  Grill 5 more minutes over the lit side, turning once.  Remove pork from the grill.  Slice tenderloin, and serve it with balsamic strawberry mixture. Serves 5 to 6

Tip for Leftovers:

• There’s nothing better than a warm meaty panini made with leftovers from the night before. A quick and easy sandwich, the men in your life will go bonkers for!
• Leftover pork tenderloin thinly sliced and placed onto artisan bread with a spread of pesto sauce, red bell peppers, and some cheese, then grilled in a panini press until the cheese has melted is mouthwatering!

How to Make a Pork Pesto Panini!

1. Cut reserved pork from Pork Tenderloins into 16 to 18 thin slices.
2. Drain 1 (7-oz.) jar roasted red bell peppers; cut peppers into 6 pieces.
3. Spread 2 teaspoons of fresh basil pesto sauce on each of 6 artisan bread slices.
4. Top each with 3 pork slices, 1 red pepper piece, 1 slice of Havarti cheese, and 1 bread slice on top.
5. Cook in a preheated panini press 2 to 3 minutes or until golden.
6. Makes 6 servings

Grill & Serve

We love grilling meats outdoors, and personally, I am not a huge fan of pork; however, I have to tell you – this turned out to be amazing! The recipe was inspired by our friends Cookie and Chris who invited us for a BBQ at their beautiful beach home on Seabrook Island.

This recipe is very easy and turns out GREAT! Feel confident to try this recipe, it is a winner.

In the meantime, happy grilling!

and Enjoy!
