Grilled Pork Tenderloin Medallions

Grilling is one of the most flavorful ways to cook, and pork tenderloin is no exception. This succulent lean meat is low in saturated fat but big on taste thanks to the herb and pepper rub. Serve with roasted or mashed red potatoes and veggies from the grill for a complete, healthy meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1-1/2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
• 1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
• 12 pork tenderloin medallions (about 1 pound)

Directions:

1. For rub, combine garlic salt, basil, thyme, pepper, rosemary and paprika in small jar or resealable food storage bag.
2. Spray cold grid of grill with cooking spray. Prepare grill for direct grilling. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons rub evenly over both sides of pork, pressing lightly. Spray pork with cooking spray.
3. Place pork on grid over medium-hot coals. Grill, uncovered, 4 to 5 minutes per side or until pork is barely pink in center. Makes 4 servings.
