grilled marinated pork tenderloins

based on the recipe from Williams-Sonoma's Essentials of Grilling (2003)

4-6 servings

Prepare the marinade (I usually just make half this amount):
0.66 cup balsamic vinegar
0.33 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4.5 teaspoons firmly packed golden brown sugar
freshly ground pepper
0.5 cup finely chopped fresh rosemary
5 cloves garlic, chopped

Place in marinade:
2 pork tenderloins, about 2.5 pounds total weight

Cover and let stand at room temperature, turning occasionally, for up to 2 hours.

Grill over medium-high heat, about 20 minutes total for medium.
Turn every 4-5 minutes and baste with marinade.
To test for doneness, instant-read thermometer in thickest part should register 150 degrees F (will rise another 5-10 degrees F while the meat is resting).
Let tenderloins rest for 5 minutes.
Carve into thin slices, across the grain.
Season to taste with salt.
Can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.
