Who doesn’t love a grilling recipe that’s quick and easy enough for a weeknight meal but fancy enough to serve to dinner guests? I mean, I love to cook, but sometimes you just want a really great dinner without a ton of effort. But it’s always nice when it seems like it took a lot of effort (what other people don’t know won’t hurt them)! Plus if you have people coming over for dinner you usually have ten or twelve million other things to do besides actually cook.

Pork tenderloin is such a great option since it takes to so many different rubs and marinades plus it cooks in about 30 minutes. This version takes a nice long soak in a yummy marinade of balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and rosemary. It takes all of about 10 minutes to throw the marinade together and trim the tenderloins.
