5-INGREDIENT GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil, like canola, in a large resealable plastic bag. Sprinkle the pork with freshly ground black pepper and seal in the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
• When ready to cook, move the pork to the counter to bring it to room temperature. Preheat the grill for cooking over medium heat (350 to 400 degrees F).
• Cut the peaches in half crosswise around the pit (not through the stem) for easier release. Twist the halves in opposite directions to release the flesh from the pit. Twist the pit out of the peach, cutting tightly around the pit with a paring knife, if necessary. Drizzle the peaches cut-side up with the remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar.
• Drain off the marinade and sprinkle the pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Rub the grill grates lightly with oil and grill the pork until it has nice grill marks and releases easily from the grill, about 8 minutes.
• Turn the pork and cook another 5 minutes. Once more, turn to another side and cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove the pork and cover it loosely with foil. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
• Meanwhile, place the peaches on the grill cut-sides down and cook until they have nice grill marks, release easily from the grill and are softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the pork and peaches with basil and additional salt and pepper to taste. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with olive oil. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes; let cool slightly, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a medium bowl and gently toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Meanwhile, toss the cucumbers, pineapple, scallion, cilantro and vinegar in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Mix the brown sugar, chile powder, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a separate bowl. Rub the pork all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the spice mixture.
• Grill the pork, covered, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the sweet potatoes, turning once, until marked, about 3 minutes. Slice the pork and top with the cucumber-pineapple salsa. Serve with the sweet potatoes.
