Who says that a BBQ has to be limited to hot dogs and
hamburgers? Spice up your next cookout with the other
white meat brushed with this sweet and sassy glaze.
a 1 lb. pork tenderloin
4 cups water
4 Tbsp. salt
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
2 Tbsp. chili powder
cooking spray or vegetable oil
Stir
the water and salt together until the salt is dissolved.
Place the pork in a large bowl and cover with salt water,
making sure it is completely covered by brine. (Make
another batch of salt water, if necessary) Marinate
pork in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Discard
the brine and cut the pork diagonally into 3/4 inch
cutlets. Place the cutlets between sheets of wax paper
and flatten with the smooth end of a meat tenderizer
until the cutlets are about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the
pork dry and season with salt.
Combine
the maple syrup and chili powder until well combined.
Set aside, close to the grill.
Lightly spray or brush each side of pork with cooking
spray or oil. Grill the pork over glowing coals until
just cooked through, 2
to 3 minutes, 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals OR
3 to 4 minutes, 7-8 inches over coals. Brush pork with
glaze and grill 15 seconds more on each side. Remove
from heat and serve immediately.
