Pork Tenderloins with Balsamic Strawberries. Delicious pork tenderloins are wrapped with bacon and grilled for 30 minutes, then sliced and served with a sweet fruity sauce to drizzle on top. A tasty, and easy way to cook up a grill without any fuss, making dinner a snap.

Juicy, tender pork tenderloin grilled to perfection, and served with a sweet sauce made with strawberries and balsamic vinegar; when blended together, create a marriage of amazing flavors that we fell in love with.

My husband loves to wrap meats with bacon or prosciutto di parma. It gives the meat a crispy crust, along with that fine-welcoming smoky flavor that we love the most.

That’s the flavor of this pork tenderloin!

During the summer months, we mostly spend time outdoors cooking and entertaining with family and friends. It happens to be one of our greatest pleasures during this time.

These are the special moments that inspire us to cook, grill, and prepare dishes even on the hottest days.

Personally, I am not a huge fan of pork; however, I have to tell you – this was 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. A magnificent Island to see!

However, we forgot to bring the camera to take photos of this beautiful place, but we’re going back soon.

In the meantime, happy grilling!

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!

I love port tenderloin and combining it with strawberries is such a great idea. Of course you had to throw bacon on there as well which only makes it better 🙂 Great idea on the panini sandwich as well! xoxo, Jackie
