Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Apples.
Step 1
Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to keep your pork tenderloin from sticking.
Step 2
Generously season the pork with garlic salt and black pepper, making sure every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Once your grill is ready, place the seasoned pork on it and let it cook for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side.
Step 4
Remember to turn it twice for even cooking, and keep an eye on the color; you want it to be no longer pink in the center.
Step 5
To be sure it’s perfectly cooked, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature hits at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
When the pork is done, take it off the grill and cover it with aluminum foil.
Step 7
This resting period of about 5 minutes is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is juicy and tender.
Step 8
While the pork is resting, grab a skillet and melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 9
Toss in your sliced apples and cover the skillet, letting them cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 10
After that, give the apples a stir and sprinkle them with a bit of sugar.
Step 11
Lower the heat, cover the skillet again, and let them cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 12
Once the apples are nice and tender, remove the cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until they turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 2 to 3 more minutes.
Step 13
Now it’s time to slice your rested pork tenderloin and arrange the beautiful pieces on a serving platter.
Step 14
Top it off with those delicious caramelized apples, and serve immediately for a delightful meal that’s sure to impress! Enjoy the wonderful combination of savory pork and sweet apples that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
