1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed

1/2 cup pineapple (or orange) juice
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced

Heat a large pan over high heat to the smoking point, 3 to 4 minutes. Brown pineapple 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pineapple juice and stir 1 minute, scraping up brown bits from pan. Remove pineapple from heat. Combine in a bowl with pepper, onion and basil. Heat a grill or grill pan over high. Coat with cooking spray. Remove pork from marinade; place on grill.
