Where to Buy Pork Tenderloin:
We purchase our pork tenderloin at Costco. They seem to have the best pricing and the meat is consistently great quality – they come in large packs of 4 total and each pork tenderloin comes out to about $5 which is so reasonable, especially if you are cooking for a crowd.

What is the Difference Between Pork Tenderloin and Pork Loin?
- What is a Pork Tenderloin? It is smaller and thinner usually 1 to 1 1/2 lbs each. Also known as pork tender or pork filet.
- Pork tenderloin is best cooked quickly over higher heat. It is more forgiving and you can even overcook it a little and it will still be juicy, which is why we used it for this grilled pork tenderloin recipe.
- Silver skin must be removed from pork tenderloin before cooking (see tutorial below).
- What is a Pork Loin? It is larger and thicker weighing 2 to 5 lbs. It is also known as pork loin roast or center cut pork loin roast. pork loin is best cooked slower on lower heat.
- Both cuts are lean but their shapes and sizes are very different, so they should NOT be substituted in recipes.
How to Trim Pork Tenderloin “Silver Skin”:
For the most tender, flavorful and easy to chew results, you must first remove the white membrane known as “silver skin” from the pork tenderloin. If not removed, the silver skin can be tough and chewy once cooked.
To Remove Silver Skin: Insert the tip of your knife between the silver skin and meat and slide your knife along the meat while pulling the silver skin and fat away at the same time.
How to Make Grilled Peaches:
Peaches are the easiest fruit to grill because they don’t need any glaze or seasoning. They become so juicy and just explode with flavor.
How to Pit Peaches: Ripe locally grown peaches are the easiest to pit. Slice the peach all around starting at the stem and coming back to it. Twist both halves of the peaches. and one side should end up pitted. Run a pairing knife around the top and bottom of the pit and wiggle it around until it pops off.
How to Grill Peaches: brush both sides with olive oil and place on a clean preheated grill for 4-5 minutes per side over medium heat (300˚F).
Now you know! Are you surprised how easy it is to make grilled peaches?
Grilled pork tenderloin really is as juicy as it looks. We love that it’s lean and juicy – there is no need to pick at it once it’s on your plate – the best!!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Quick and easy and oh so tasty! Hubby asked me to make more of the spice mixture and keep it in a jar for future use. Meat was tender and full of flavour. And the peaches really gave this little extra to make this a prefect meal. Served it with the creamy broccoli salad from this website and made sure to file the recipes for future reference.
That’s so great, Angela! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Thanks for including what you normally would serve with this. Sometimes I see great recipes for a main dish but and left wondering what to serve with it.
You’re welcome, Linda! I’m glad that is helpful!
***Awesome recipe. Made it for tonight’s main meal. SCRUMPTIOUS!! We all loved it. Made full recipe for 3 adults and managed to squeak out enough leftovers for another meal someday soon. Juicy, tender & oh so tasty. I think I put a picture in here somewhere but not sure it worked. All your recipes are Vonderbar!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Ernie!
I have enjoyed several of your recipes. That are tasty and easy to make.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review 🙂
Made your pork tend,my wife said it the best she had ever had! Thanks
That’s a great compliment! Thank you Carl!
I’m making the grilled pork tenderloin and grilled peaches at the lake on Saturday. I’ll keep you posted
I’d love to hear how you like them! Enjoy!
Hello Natasha. Amazing recipe! I loved the pork version. We wanted to try it with a turkey tenderloin. Do you think that would work, what would be the cooking time?
Hi Lina. I haven’t tried this with Turkey but I think it could work. If you experiment with that I would love to know how it works out. I would recommend watchign the cook time closely I can imagine turkey will take a little less time, just make sure to check the internal temperature.
Did you ever buy a cookbook and find there are a lot of good recipes in there but you only use about 10% ? I don’t do that anymore, I go thru your recipes and print the ones I like. When I need something really good I just go thru your recipes and my mouth waters.
That is exactly why we have this print out option. I’m so happy you found that to your benefit! Enjoy!
Delicious! We paired it with corn, and roasted Brussels, and we were perfectly satisfied. Next time I think we’ll try a little cayenne on the peaches – the pork would be salty/savory, and the peaches spicy/sweet. Mmmmmm! Definitely a recipe to save!
Sounds like you found a new favorite, Lisa!
Wow this cake recipe is so good thank you for sharing your recipe
So happy you enjoyed that! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
We just grilled this recipe tonight. It was so easy and so delicious! We have never had grilled peaches before, and we are so glad we made them. They tasted like peach cobbler without all the too sweet sugar–total yum! Thank you so much for the recipe. I am adding it to my favorites.
Hi Linda, What an amazing review! Thanks for following and taking the time to leave such thoughtful comments!
We made this last night and it was great. Used a little more red pepper as suggested and also used the white peaches from Costco since they were available … heavenly!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Can this be cooked in the oven and if so what temp and how long. Some places have high burn days if you live around the mountains and can’t grill outside.
Thanks,
Cathy
Hi Cathy, I would recommend using the instructions I have listed here for baked pork tenderloin.
Thanks so much. I really wanted to make this recipe, but it’s to hot and to dry to grill outside so now I can cook it in the oven.
Hi Natasha
I want to try this recipe, what meat can I replace for pork plz?
Hi Nargis, you might try chicken thighs or chicken breast but the grilling time will vary depending on the cut and thickness of the chicken. Beef steaks would also probably be great using this same recipe.
my mouth is already watering
Thank you for the wonderful review!
that is going to be my family dinner.
You are just such a good cook Natasha you are a life saver i just love you
You are so nice Miranda! Thank you!! I hope this becomes a new favorite for your family 🙂
