Easy BBQ Glaze Recipe for Grilled Pork Tenderloin Medallions

This easy BBQ glaze recipe turns pork tenderloin into fast, elegant medallions that cook in about 10 minutes total - one of the quickest ways to get a real glazed dinner on the table on a weeknight.

Why Medallions Instead of a Whole Tenderloin

Slicing the tenderloin into 1-inch medallions before cooking means every piece gets direct grill contact and a full glaze coating, rather than glazing just the outside of a whole roast. It also cuts total cook time down dramatically since each piece is thin enough to cook through fast.

Building the Glaze

Warm Peach Habanero Spread with a touch of butter for a fruity, medium-heat glaze, or use Garlic Pepper Spread if you'd rather keep things savory.

Step-by-Step: Grilled Tenderloin Medallions

1. Slice a 1.5-pound pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions.
2. Season with salt and pepper, and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3. Grill over direct medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side.
4. Warm 1/3 cup Peach Habanero Spread with 1 teaspoon butter until glossy.
5. Brush medallions with glaze during the last minute on each side.
6. Pull once internal temperature reaches 145°F and rest for 3 minutes.

Why This Easy BBQ Glaze Recipe Works for Busy Nights

Total time from cutting board to plate is well under 20 minutes, making this one of the fastest ways to get real glazed flavor on a weeknight without sacrificing the caramelized exterior a good BBQ glaze recipe depends on.

Serving Ideas

Serve over a quick rice pilaf or alongside roasted green beans. Leftover medallions slice well into a salad or wrap the next day.
