Chargrilled Pork Tenderloin with Vegetables Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon black tea powder
• 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 zucchinis, sliced
• 2 yellow bell peppers, cut into strips
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Black Tea Marinade:

• In a small bowl, mix the black tea powder with 1/4 cup of hot water. Allow the tea to steep for 3-4 minutes, then strain and let it cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled black tea, olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Marinate the Pork:

• Add the pork tenderloins to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.

Prepare the Vegetables:

• In a large bowl, toss the sliced onion, zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Grill the Vegetables:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

Grill the Pork:

• Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
• Grill the pork tenderloins for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Make the Glaze:

• In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the glaze reduces and thickens slightly.

Serve:

• Slice the rested pork tenderloins against the grain.
• Arrange the grilled vegetables on a platter, top with the sliced pork tenderloin, and drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
• Enjoy your Chargrilled Pork Tenderloin with Vegetables, enhanced with the unique flavor of black tea, perfect for a summer barbecue or a family dinner.
