Exciting Story:
I remember the first time I decided to pair peaches with grilled tenderloin. It was a warm summer evening, and I had a craving for something fresh and flavorful.

The idea of combining these two ingredients came to me, and I couldn’t wait to see how it would turn out.

As the tenderloin marinated and the peaches caramelized on the grill, the aroma filled my backyard. The moment I plated the dish, the vibrant colors of the grilled peaches against the perfectly cooked tenderloin made my heart skip a beat.

Why This Peach Grilled Tenderloin is a Must-Try

How to Make Peach Grilled Tenderloin
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the tenderloin from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.

Place the pork tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). In the last 5-7 minutes of grilling, add the peach halves cut-side down to the grill.

Once the tenderloin is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. The peaches should be caramelized and tender.

Serve the sliced tenderloin with the grilled peaches on the side. Drizzle any juices from the grill over the top for extra flavor. Enjoy!

Tips:

• Make sure to let the tenderloin rest after grilling for the juiciest slices.
• Use fresh peaches for the best flavor; if they’re out of season, canned or frozen can work as well.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Swap out pork tenderloin for chicken breast or thighs for a different protein.
• Experiment with different fruits like plums or apricots for variety.

Make a Healthier Version:

• Use a sugar-free honey alternative or agave syrup to reduce calories.
• Serve with a side of grilled vegetables for added nutrition.
