SMOKED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MICHIGAN CHERRY GLAZE



Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Michigan Cherry Glaze image

The pork tenderloin has a very mild flavor and because of this, it is a very versatile meat. It is often prepared with a strong, flavorful marinade, dry rub, stuffing, or sauce. This elongated muscle usually weighs between three quarters of a pound and one and a half pounds and can be cooked at either hot or low temperatures. The tenderloin is typically barbecued whole and, when done, cross-cut and served as medallions. Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Michigan Cherry Glaze begins with a bath in a rich marinade highlighted by cherry cola. Soy and brown sugar provide the depth of flavor, and the cherry cola adds a fruity punch while the acidity of it works to tenderize the meat. The earthy flavor of the smoked pork tenderloin is finished with a sweet glaze made from Michigan cherry preserves. This recipe was created in 2007 for an ESPN/Kingsford game day matchup when this tenderloin was pitted against Joe Theismann's Luck o' the Irish Lamb Chops. It was Michigan against Notre Dame on the field and grill. Here's the winning recipe.

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup cherry cola
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced onion
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 whole pork tenderloins (1 1/2 to 3 pounds total)
6 ounces Michigan cherry preserves
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 tablespoon distilled vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the marinade ingredients and mix well. Place the tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
  • Build a fire (wood or a combination of charcoal and wood) for indirect cooking by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. When the cooker reaches 250°F, place the tenderloins on the void side of the grill and close the lid. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, turning once.
  • Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Use a small pastry brush to paint the tenderloins with the glaze. Cook for anadditional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the tenderloins is 155 to 160°F. Let the tenderloins rest under tented foil for 10 minutes on a cutting board, slice into medallions, and serve.

Categories     Meat and Poultry     Pork     Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Time 8h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
2 cups olive oil
¾ cup soy sauce
2 medium limes, juiced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons flavor enhancer (such as Accent®)
1 (10 ounce) jar cherry preserves
½ cup red wine
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour in olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced onion, ginger, sugar, and flavor enhancer for marinade. Toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Remove pork from the refrigerator and place in a shallow baking pan. Cover with some of the marinade and discard the rest.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
  • While pork is resting, prepare sauce: Combine cherry preserves, wine, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Keep warm.
  • Drizzle sauce over pork, top with almonds, and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to monitor its internal temperature. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by making a small incision into the center of the pork tenderloin. If the juices run clear, the pork is done.
  • To make the cherry glaze, use fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar in the cherry glaze to taste. If you like a sweeter glaze, add more sugar. If you prefer a tart glaze, use less sugar.
  • The cherry glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To serve, slice the pork tenderloin into thin slices and drizzle with the cherry glaze.

Conclusion:

Cherry glazed pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for dinner or lunch. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the cherry glaze adds a sweet and tart flavor that complements the pork perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
