Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup apple cider, divided
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon sale
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves, divided
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), cut in half crosswise - I used about 1 1/2 pound for 4 people.
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

1. Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk together 1/2 cup cider, the vinegar, oil, shallot, salt and 1 tablespoon sage in a large bowl. Add pork and set aside (I used large storage bag for the marinade) 2. When grill is hot, remove pork, reserving marinade, and cook, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in center of meat reads 150 degrees, about 20 minutes total. Transfer to a board and tent with foil. 3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring marinade and remaining 1/2 cup cider to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, 6 to 7 minutes. During last minute, whisk in butter. 4. Cut pork into 1/4 inch slices, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with remaining sage.
