Balsamic Pork with Mixed-Herb Brush (5.5 points)

Recipe Ingredients

2		(3/4-pound) pork tenderloins (about 1 1/2 pounds)
8		Rosemary sprigs
8		Thyme sprigs
1/2 cup	118ml	Balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup	59ml	Olive or vegetable oil

Recipe Instructions

Cut each pork tenderloin crosswise into 6 pieces. Press each piece, cut side down, to form a round, about 1 1/2 inches thick. If end pieces are thin, coil into round fillets; secure with toothpicks.

Place rosemary and thyme sprigs in nonmetal dish or heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Stir in vinegar and oil. Add pork, turning to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning pork 2 to 3 times, at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours. Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove pork and herbs from marinade; reserve marinade.

Place herbsdirectly on hot coals. Immediately cover and grill pork 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 7 minutes, turning and brushing frequently with marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Cover and grill pork 6 to 8 minutes longer, turning frequently, until slightly pink in center. Remove toothpicks.
