We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Puree first eight ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour all but 3/4 cup of mixture into a gallon-sized zipper bag. Add meat; seal and refrigerate 30 minutes to 4 hours. To make a dressing for salad - Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil into remaining mixture for a dressing.

  • Step 2: Build a fire on one side of grill, so you have direct and indirect heat. When coals are covered with white ash, place tenderloins over direct heat; cover and grill until meat is well seared, 5 minutes.

  • Step 3: Turn pork and sear the other side, approximately 5 minutes more. Move tenderloins to indirect heat; cover and grill 12 to 13 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest end of meat registers 145 to 150 degrees.

  • Step 4: Remove tenderloins to a platter; let sit 5 minutes or up to 1 hour. Cut pork, crosswise, into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve over a large bed of greens with dressing, if desired.
