Grilled Pork with Strawberry Peach Salsa

This recipe for grilled pork with strawberry peach salsa goes from grill to the table so quickly, but tastes like you spent hours making it.

There is nothing quite like a 30 minute meal, is there? They are great for busy weeknights when  you don’t want to spend extra time in the kitchen.

it’s time to fire up the grill for this recipe! I just love summer time! It gives me a break from cooking in a hot kitchen by using our grill on the deck.

Because we grill out so often in the summer, I am always looking for new and interesting ways to prepare our meals. And I especially love meals that come together in a flash.

My husband is a heat nut. He loves a really spicy meal. Me? Not so much.

I love the savory flavor of a spicy meal, but don’t like to have them as hot as he does, especially when the temperatures are high, as they are during the summer months.

This grilled pork recipe with a tasty strawberry peach salsa has a bit of heat, but it’s tempered by the taste of the fresh fruit in the salsa. In a word? Amazing!

Since tonight’s meal is going to be a 30 minute creation, a marinated pork loin fillet was a great protein to use as the base of the recipe.

It is the perfect thing to team up with some fresh fruit and jalapeño peppers, lime and cilantro for my salsa.

I started by gathering all my ingredients together. I find that this step of taking everything out before I start actually makes the meal prep faster.

And also, I am a #madfoodbloggerlady and I love to take a kazillion photos of my food!! Look at the colors!

I cut open the package of marinated pork, but I saved the extra marinade. I’ll be slicing the pork into thick cuts and want to add some of the marinade back on the cut edges of the meat.

This takes just a few minutes before grilling time  to make sure that the marinade coats the pork well.

While the pork was sitting in the marinade, I made the strawberry peach salsa. That’s right. Just a few minutes is all it takes.

Just dice your peaches and strawberries, then chop the onion and add some minced jalapeño pepper (leave the seeds if you like it spicier than I do.)

All that is left to do is to add the cilantro and lime juice, along with some sea salt and toss it together. I put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes while I cooked the pork to let the flavors mix well.

The flavor of this salsa is one of the best that I have made. Tangy, not too spicy with a hint of sweetness. I’m going to make it again to serve with pita chips!

Place the marinated pork slices on the BBQ grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side. (time depends on the thickness of your pork.) 

Add the strawberry peach salsa to the cooked pork and serve with a tossed salad.

The salsa has a fresh flavor with just a bit of a bite to it and it pairs so well with the grilled pork.

And did I say “real flavor, real fast?” Yes, I believe I did. Your family will simply not believe how quickly this meal comes together!

I love adding fruit salsas to any meat. I’ve made many varieties of them and this is one of the best yet.

Slightly spicy, fruity and tangy all in one delicious bite. And the flavor of the meat is just amazing. SO GOOD!!

So grab a plate, and enjoy the summer time lazy days with your family. And wait for the rave reviews!!

Looking for the perfect summer time dessert to have after the meal? Try this delicious blueberry cobbler recipe.  It is another easy one, too.
