Categories     Pork     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 7

2½ lb pork tenderloin (two tenderloin strips)
1 bottle Poulaner's Blackberry "All Fruit"
Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard (regular or coarse)
Fresh garlic cloves, peeled
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste (cayenne for spicier)
Optional: Pepper Jelly, for added heat

Steps:

  • 1. Trim any membrane, gristle, and excess fat from the tenderloin. 2. Slice the garlic into slivers and stud the tenderloin (pierce the meat with a knife and insert the slivers into the holes.) 3. Salt and pepper the tenderloin to taste. Add cayenne if you want it spicy. 4. Slather mustard over the tenderloin, cover with foil or plastic and set aside to marinate for at least one hour. 5. Prepare the sauce: in a sauce pan, combine the All Fruit with about half as much of the mustard. If pepper jelly is desired, start with about the same amount as the mustard. Frequently whisk while bringing it to a boil. The mixture will blend together into a smooth sauce. Lower the heat and continue to simmer to allow flavors to blend and sauce to thicken. Taste the mixture and add more mustard for tartness or pepper jelly for heat. If sauce gets too thick, thin with apple juice, cider, or water. The final sauce should be as thick as a BBQ sauce. 6. Light the grill and allow it sufficient time to get completely hot. About 30 minutes before serving time, lightly oil the grill and place tenderloins on the hot grates. Watch the meat and rotate it once the bottom is browned and seared with grill marks (this should take no more than 4 to 6 minutes). Continue to rotate the meat, searing each side. 7. Once you have the meat about 5 minutes from being done Medium-rare, baste the meat with the sauce. Allow the sauce to caramelize into a glaze on the meat. The meat should be about 145-150°F when you take it off the grill. The center should be a wet pink as it is removed from the grill. Loosely cover the tenderloin with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. 8. When ready to serve, slice pork into medallions, about ¾ inch thick. Drizzle with some of the sauce. Place the remaining sauce for guests to use as desired.

I didn't have any dijon mustard, so I used yellow mustard instead. It turned out great!

The pork was a little dry, but the sauce was delicious.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The pork is always juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for.

This pork tenderloin was amazing! The blackberry dijon sauce was the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and the pork was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
