Course Main Dish, Meat And Poultry
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 4-6 figs fresh, Black Mission or Kadota (green)
  • olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher Salt
  • black pepper fresh cracked

Instructions
 

  • Rinse pork with cold water and pat dry. Set aside on a sheet pan or plate and season liberally on both sides with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Best to let the meat temper to room temperature approximately 15-20 minutes prior to cooking. Similarly once you have cooked the meat, let it rest for 2-3 minutes per pound to help retain juices.
  • Slice the figs lengthwise in half. Place in a mixing bowl, season with salt, pepper and a touch of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Once the Tuscan grill is hot, slide towards the oven opening and place the pork and figs on the grill. Slide grill back over the coals and cook for 7-9 minutes. Using tongs, make a quarter turn of the meat and figs and cook an additional 5 minutes. Slide the grill towards the door, flip both the pork and figs and continue to cook until desired doneness … about another 5 minutes for medium. Remove the pork and figs from grill and oven, let meat rest. Slice the pork into medallions and serve with your favorite sauce and vegetable.
