Pork Tenderloin on the Grill
Ingredients
butter-flavored vegetable cooking spray
1 pound pork tenderloin (BBQ flavored)
aluminum foil
Steps
1. Spray grill with cooking spray.
2. Preheat grill for 5-10 minutes on medium-high.
3. Place tenderloin on grill; cook for 3 minutes, then turn. Cover with foil or grill top and heat for 20-22 minutes. Turn every 3-5 minutes. This will prevent burning.
4. Remove from grill. Cut into 1-inch thick medallions by slicing diagonally across the grain. (This is a scaloppini cut.) If additional cooking time needed, return to grill. Continue to cook, turning every 3-5 minutes, until cooked throughout. Serve.

Apron's Advice
Traditional Southern-style greens are typically seasoned with bacon drippings. We used butter in ours. Substitute per your family's taste.
