Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pork tenderloins, each about 1 pound
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Creamed Corn, recipe follows
6 ears fresh corn, husked, about 4 cups corn kernels
4 scallions (white and green)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup light cream
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Serving suggestions: Add other herbs like basil, cilantro, or parsley
  • Position a rack about 3-inches from the broiler and preheat. Line a broiler pan with foil. If there is sliver skin on the tenderloin, trim it off with a knife. Rub or brush the tenderloin with oil. Mix the chili powder with the salt and then sprinkle the spices all over the tenderloins and rub in well with your hands. Lay the tenderloin on the prepared pan, tucking the thin narrow tip of the tenderloin under so the meat is the same general thickness all the way down.
  • Broil the tenderloin until golden brown on 1 side, about 5 minutes. Turn and continue to cook on the other side, until brown about 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from the broiler, tent loosely with foil and set aside to finish cooking. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with creamed corn.
  • Shear the corn kernels from the cobs with a knife. Transfer the kernels to a bowl. Working over a bowl, run the knife along the cobs to press out the milky liquid. Discard the cobs. Slice the scallions, both white and a couple inches of the green into thin rounds. Separate the scallion whites and greens.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the corn, water, and salt, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a boil, and cook uncovered until slightly thickened, about 1 minute more. Stir in the scallion greens and tomatoes, season with black pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by cutting into it. The meat should be slightly pink in the center.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Pork tenderloin is a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. The chili rub in this recipe adds a flavorful kick to the pork, while the honey-lime glaze provides a sweet and tangy balance. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
