Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Cherries

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided

  • ½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder

  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ¼ cup chopped shallots

  • 2 cups cherries, pitted and halved

  • 2 tablespoons dry red wine

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish

Description

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. Brush pork with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon thyme, chile powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill, flipping occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 14 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add cherries and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are softened, 3 to 6 minutes. Stir in wine and increase the heat to high; cook for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and stir in basil and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

  4. Slice the pork and stir any juices into the cherries. Serve the pork with the cherries. Garnish with more basil, if desired.
