Grilled Chipotle Pork Tenderloin with Polenta
This is one of the easiest way to make yummy dish . I am not so much of a fan of pork tenderloin , although it is actually can be considered a healthy food . It’s the other white meat , i like to get pork tenderloin that has white fat on top still . It brings out the flavor to be better , compared the one that you have the skin removed . This one is super easy , as long as you have ziploc bag , spices , brown sugar , and pork , and grill .. you’ll be set and ready for a yummy quick dinner .
Direction :
2.5 lbs of pork tenderloin , either you cut them into 3-4 pieces or just leave it whole , if you leave it whole it’ll take longer to grill .
3 tbsp. of chipotle chili powder
1 tsp. of garlic powder
1 tsp. of onion powder
1 tbsp. of smoked paprika
4 tbsp. of brown sugar
Mix the spices , and add the pork , let it marinade for couple of hours . Grill , and it should be done when temperature reached 145 F . Don’t overcook it , or it will not juicy and become tough and dry .
Once it’s done , let it sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing them , serve with polenta , and grilled corn .
For the Polenta
