Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin

Tent with aluminum foil (do not wrap) and place an additional piece of heavy foil under the foil packet and place on grill. Grill for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Remove from heat and allow to rest for five minutes.
