  • Apricot Preserves
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Pepper

How to Make Apricot Mustard Grilled Pork Tenderloin

  1. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apricot preserves and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the pork tenderloin on the grill and cook for approximately 7-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). During the last 3-4 minutes of grilling, baste the tenderloin generously with the apricot mustard mixture.
  4. Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork tenderloin.
  5. Serve immediately with couscous and a side of your favorite cucumber and onion salad. Consider adding a simple Italian dressing to the salad for extra flavor.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
