Prepare BBQ Glaze - Serve hot or cold

1. Combine glaze ingredients in a heavy-bottomed 2-qt pan over low heat
2. Whisk until entirely incorporated; simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally

Pork Tenderloin

1. Preheat oven to 425°F
2. In a food processor/blender, combine the basil, garlic, cider vinegar, and olive oil
3. Add salt and pepper, and purée just until mixed
4. Rub the pork tenderloin in the mixture, coating completely
5. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof pan over high heat. Sear the pork until browned on all sides, 3-5 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the tenderloin to an internal temperature of 135°F, about 10-15 minutes
6. Remove pork from oven, brush liberally with BBQ glaze. Transfer to a rack, or elevate atop forks on a plate. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and slice on the bias (and against the grain of the meat) into ¼” thick pieces
