GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN AND APRICOT-SERRANO SALSA



Grilled Pork Tenderloin and Apricot-Serrano Salsa image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped (small cubes) fresh apricots (about 3 apricots)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the pork tenderloin: Mix the honey, balsamic vinegar, ancho chile and garlic together in a large resealable plastic bag. Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Place the tenderloin in the bag and squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • For the apricot-serrano salsa: In a bowl, combine the apricot, cilantro, lime juice, serrano and onion. Season the salsa with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • The key to grilling a pork tenderloin evenly is to roll it to each of its 4 sides while cooking. Grill the tenderloin on the first side for about 5 minutes (times vary per grill, so be careful not to over-char). Roll the tenderloin onto the next side and grill for another 5 minutes. Repeat on all 4 sides, 5 minutes per side, until an instant-read thermometer registers around 150 degrees F. Allow the tenderloin to rest on a platter for about 10 minutes before you slice it, to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve with the apricot-serrano salsa and enjoy!

APRICOT GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN



Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin image

Adapted from a Robin Miller "Quick Fix" recipe. On her show, Robin used a whole jar of jam, but I prefer less jam. If you like a thicker sauce, you may wish to add some cornstarch at the end, but I liked it without it. To help make this healthier for my family, I did use jam sweetened with Splenda and low sodium soy sauce and we really liked it. Serve with rice and snap peas or green beans. There will be a lot of extra sauce in the pan, I served this on the side in a gravy boat for those who wished to dip.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
1 garlic clove, sliced into 6 thin pieces
1/2 cup apricot preserves (preferably with whole fruit)
1/2 medium lemon, juice of
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat the toaster oven (or conventional oven) to 400°.
  • Place the pork tenderloin in a shallow ovenproof dish.
  • Cut 6 (1-inch) slits evenly spaced across the top, insert the garlic pieces, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while the oven is heating.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the apricot preserves, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and cumin. (If the preserves are still thick, add more lemon juice; don't add too much, though, because the mixture should remain dense, not be runny.)
  • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Set aside.
  • Coat the tenderloin with olive oil and roast for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and spread evenly with the apricot mixture.
  • Return the pork to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for tenderloins that are firm to the touch, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Marinate the pork tenderloin: Marinating the pork tenderloin in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin: Searing the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet helps to create a caramelized crust and lock in the juices.
  • Roast the pork tenderloin: Roasting the pork tenderloin in a preheated oven ensures that it is cooked through evenly.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest: Letting the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Apricot pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its tender meat, sweet and tangy apricot glaze, and crispy bacon topping, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
