Barbecue Pork Tenderloin

Submitted by wood stove stoker

"A simple and light sauce for the barbecue; this is a nice alternative to a sticky, sweet sauce. My family loves it, and it is very easy to prepare. (This technique uses a gas grill.)"

Amazing that such wonderful flavor can come out of so few ingredients. We all loved this. Used pinot grigio in place of vermouth. Thanks for a keeper.

Fantastic pork, and oh, so easy to make. In fact, we didn't have vermouth so substituted Madeira and it made an excellent sauce. We'll definitely have this again.
