Ingredients

For the Char-Grilled Pork:

2 lbs pork tenderloin at room temperature
3 tbsp charcoal activate truffle rub
1 tbsp ancho honey rub

For the Stone Fruit Salsa

1 avocado seeded and sliced
2 nectarines seeded, skin removed, sliced
2 cups cherries pits and stems removed, cut into quarters

Instructions

Prep grill:

Preheat your grill for 400 degrees direct heat and clean the grates.

Prep pork:

Remove the pork from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Whisk the spices together and rub over all sides of the pork.

Make the Salsa:

In a small bowl, combine the avocado, nectarines, and cherries in a bowl.
Add the cilantro and toss to combine.
Season with salt as desired.

Grill pork:

When the grill has heated to 400-425F, place the rubbed pork tenderloin on hot the grill and rotate every 2 minutes.
Allow the pork to cook to 140 degrees F, flipping as often as needed to get a good char but not over cook.
While resting, ensure the meat hits 145⁰F before consuming.

Serve over a bed of rich greens with a fresh stone fruit salsa.

Notes

I paired this with a rich green salad and simple roasted fingerling potatoes.
