**Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Molasses Sauce: A Sweet and Savory Summer Delight**
Fire up the grill and get ready to savor the tantalizing flavors of grilled pork tenderloin basted in a luscious molasses sauce. This succulent dish is a symphony of sweet, smoky, and savory notes that will tantalize your taste buds and transport you to a backyard barbecue paradise. The tenderloin, known for its lean and juicy texture, is marinated in a blend of aromatic spices, herbs, and molasses, infusing it with incredible flavor. As it sizzles on the grill, the tenderloin develops a beautiful char while retaining its tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The molasses sauce, a delectable combination of molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard, adds a sweet and tangy glaze that caramelizes on the pork, creating an irresistible crust. Accompanying this grilled masterpiece are three additional recipes that elevate the dining experience: a refreshing watermelon-feta salad with mint, a creamy and tangy blue cheese dressing, and a simple yet satisfying grilled corn on the cob. These accompaniments provide a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making this grilled pork tenderloin with molasses sauce a complete and unforgettable meal.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color. Avoid any tenderloins that are bruised or have a slimy texture.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin: Marinating the tenderloin in a mixture of molasses, olive oil, garlic, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the tenderloin for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the tenderloin while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the tenderloin is cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the tenderloin rest before slicing: Letting the tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork tenderloin.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides: Grilled pork tenderloin pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled pork tenderloin with molasses sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
