What You’ll Need
- 2 Prairie Fresh® pork tenderloins
- ½ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 navel orange, zest (or grate) the peel
- 2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Remove the silverskin on the tenderloins with a sharp knife.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustards, honey, rosemary, garlic, orange zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the pork tenderloins in a 1-gallon resealable bag and pour in half of the marinade.
- Seal and refrigerate the pork for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours to marinate. Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade separately.
- Preheat the grill to 450 F (high heat). Clean and oil the cooking grate, then close the lid and allow the grill to preheat fully.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
- Grill the tenderloins for 15 to 20 minutes, turning and rotating every 5 minutes so all sides brown evenly. The pork is done when golden and crisp on the outside and the internal temperature reaches 145 F.
- Remove the tenderloins from the grill and transfer them to a carving board. Brush with the unused marinade, then let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the pork is resting, toss the asparagus in a large bowl with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the asparagus for 3 to 5 minutes, turning often, until crisp-tender and lightly charred.
- Slice the pork tenderloins and serve with the grilled asparagus. Enjoy!
