Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oiled napkins and light them.
3. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F.

Step 2: Prepare the Peach Glaze

1. Place the halved peaches cut-side down on the flat griddle cooktop.
2. Grill for about 3-5 minutes until caramelized, then remove and mash them into a paste.
3. Mix the mashed peaches with melted butter, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.

Step 3: Sear the Pork Tenderloins

1. Season the pork tenderloins with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Sear each tenderloin on the center grill grate for about 2 minutes per side to lock in the juices.

Step 4: Finish Cooking the Pork

1. Move the seared pork tenderloins to the flat cooktop griddle area.
2. Brush generously with the peach glaze and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F.
3. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes as the temperature rises to 145°F.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions.
2. Drizzle extra peach glaze on top.
3. Serve with your favorite grilled vegetables or sides prepared on the flat cooktop.

Tips

• Let the meat rest before slicing to keep all the juices inside.
• Use fresh, ripe Arkansas peaches for the best sweet and tangy flavor.
• If the tenderloin starts to cook too quickly, move it to a cooler section of the cooktop.
• Brushing the glaze on gradually layers the flavor beautifully.

Variations

1. Spicy Peach Glaze: Add 1 tsp red pepper flakes to the glaze for a slight kick.
2. Smoky Bourbon Peach Glaze: Mix 1 tbsp bourbon into the glaze for a rich, deep flavor.
3. Herb-Infused Peach Glaze: Add 1 tsp rosemary and 1 tsp thyme for an earthy touch.
