Grilled Pork Tenderloin Medallions Recipe

This delicious recipe is made of pork tenderloin, sliced into thin rounds (also called medallions), marinated, then grilled. Grilled Pork Tenderloin medallions is an easy recipe for any time of the year, but it's especially useful in summer.

The marinade for the pork is made from herbs, maple syrup, chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter. These ingredients add flavor and moisture to the meat and help to tenderize it. But because pork tenderloin is already such a tender cut of meat, it only marinates for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. If you marinate the meat for longer than a few hours, the meat will become mushy.

You can change this marinade any way you'd like. Use honey or agave nectar in place of the maple syrup; use apple cider or balsamic vinegar in place of the lemon juice; or try dried basil, oregano, or tarragon in place of the thyme and marjoram. That's one of the best things about cooking recipes (as opposed to baking recipes)—you can change them to suit your tastes and what you have on hand, and they will still work.

You can double this recipe to serve more people if you'd like. Double the marinade and add more tenderloins. This is an excellent dish for entertaining. Serve it with some grilled Granny Smith apple slices and asparagus or green beans, and a fruit salad, along with some Toasted Garlic Bread and some white wine or iced tea.
