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
-
Preheat grill to medium-high.
-
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.

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