Grilled Pork Tenderloin Recipe with Roasted Pineapple Salsa

Not going to lie, I’ve been a bit bored in the kitchen lately…  It’s nothing more than being so utterly busy that I have zero time to sit around and create new masterpieces.  With that being said though, this Grilled Pork Tenderloin Recipe with Roasted Pineapple Salsa was dang tasty and super easy to make.  Ingredient list is short and time to prepare is under 30 minutes.  I may not be as creative as I would like to be at the present time, but this recipe is worth a look.  If you’re looking for a side dish, I hooked this up with a Butter Bean Recipe with Corn, Tomatoes and Bacon that is dang tasty.  Enjoy!

Oh yeah, finish the Pork with a bit of fresh lime juice.

I like my pork tenderloin medium-wellish as you can still see a little pink in there!
