With things being so hectic at work, my friend getting T-boned by a cement mixer, and a co-worker losing both his wife and father-in-law in within a week of each other. I haven't had the time to log onto the site. However I did manage to get in one good cook on the kettle. It's fairly basic, but oh so delicious.

Start out with a quart of apple cider: Boil it down about 2/3s of the way.

While reducing add three pads of butter, a pinch/shake of cinnamon, and a pinch shake of nutmeg.

Prep the tenderloins. Sorry no picture of them rubbed down, but one was done with a garlic and herb. The other was with Tony C's creole seasoning.

Onto the kettle they go with a few spuds(the spuds had been on the grill for about 30 min. I'm not sure how hot the grill was, but I'm guessing around 300 to 325*.

At 138* taken off the grill, rested and sliced up. Ummm juicey.

On the platter for my wife and I to choose which slices we want.

My Plate minus the broccoli(took the pic before taking the broccoli). Drizzled with the apple cider reduction.

Simple and tasty. Thanks for taking a peak. Now to catch up on the threads I've missed.

The tenderloins look mighty tasty, Chris!

Hope things wind down for you soon.

I’m thinking about smoking tenderloins tomorrow, our first nice day in a week so I want to smoke but not babysit all day since yard chores need to be done. Tenderloins are always fantastic in a pinch.
 
Sorry to hear about your coworkers loss.

I just picked up 10 tenderloins buy one get one free, average price was $3.89/ tenderloin. I will be trying this on at least one. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Bear for the compliment and like appreciate them. We use the drizzle on a few pork dishes. Just have to be careful with the amount of spices added.

Great looking grub as usual Chris. Nothing beats a Weber Kettle. Sorry for your co-workers wife and father in law.

Dave

Thanks Dave, couldn't agree more about the kettle - so versatile. My co-workers FIL was expected, but his wife was sudden. We still haven't heard of the COD.

Thanks Xray for the nice words and like. Tenderloins can be done up so many ways and they're so quick and easy.

Thanks JJS, give it a try. Pork and apple naturally compliment each other and the reduction just intensifies the apple flavor. One thing just don't overseason the reduction. To much cinnamon or nutmeg can overpower the sauce.

Looks great Chris.
I'm gonna have to try your sauce.

Points for sure!

Thanks John appreciate the compliment and like. With your knowledge of food and sauces. I'm sure you'll be able to take it up another notch. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Chop, I've never even thought to reduce beef-stock for pork. Sounds like a winner and will have to give it a go.
