Categories     Mains

Time 6h35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1-pound) whole pork tenderloin
1 lime, zested
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 chipotle chile pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin.
  • Put the lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and garlic powder in a small, lidded jar and shake to combine. Pour half of this marinade into a 1-gallon zip-top bag, add the chipotle pepper, and slosh around to combine. Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible, and place in a container to catch any leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, flipping the bag halfway through. Cover the jar with the remaining marinade and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Remove the tenderloin to a plate and discard the bag and marinade. Allow the tenderloin to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill. Remove the reserved marinade from the refrigerator.
  • Fill a large chimney starter with natural lump charcoal and light it. Once the charcoal is ashy and white, about 30 minutes, dump the hot charcoal onto the lowest grate of the grill and spread into an even layer using extra-long tongs. Place the cooking grate back on the grill and cover with the lid; heat the grate to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Place the tenderloin in the center of grate. Cover and cook until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140ºF, turning every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, about 12 to 15 minutes total.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the grill and place on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil folded at the edges to create a basket, and pour on the reserved marinade. Wrap tightly and rest for 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Recipe from package of pork chops.Prep time does not include marinating time. You can alternately use dried chipotle, just rehydrate in hot water for about 15 mins and then chop. I actually like this better as a marinade for pork tenderloin.

Grilled or Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin in Honey Lime Chipotle Marinade Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs pork tenderloin (2 small tenderloins)
1 cup lime juice, about 8 juicy limes
zest from 2 limes
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tbsp adobo sauce (from canned chilies)
peanut oil, or other high temperature oil
cilantro

Steps:

  • Trim tenderloins of fat and silver skin as much as possible. Place in a large ziploc bag or other container to marinate. In a bowl combine lime juice, zest, honey, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine, then pour half over tenderloins, reserving half for sauce. To tenderloins add chiles and adobo sauce. Seal and marinade in fridge. About 30 minutes before you are ready to cook, remove pork from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large, heavy oven-proof skillet (like a cast iron skillet), heat enough oil to coat over medium high temperature. Remove tenderloins from marinade and sear in hot skillet on all sides. Place the skillet in the oven and roast tenderloins for about 15 min. Check temperature with an instant read thermometer. Remove pork from the oven at approximately 140-145, cover pork in skillet with foil. Let rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes or until temperature rises to 150. Remove pork to a cutting board, pour reserved lime juice mixture into skillet with meat juices and heat on high. Allow sauce to reduce and thicken slightly, then pour over sliced pork tenderloins. If you don't have enough sauce or it thickens too much you can add a little water and continue simmering it until it is the quantity and thickness you want. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. If you choose to grill, start at step 5 and grill your tenderloins about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill to a platter at 140°F. Pour reserved lime juice mixture over meat and cover with foil. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Then slice, garnish with cilantro and serve.

CHIPOTLE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN



Chipotle Marinated Pork Tenderloin image

Found this in Yahoo. Easy to make, fabulous taste. I used pork loin chops and marinated it overnight (6 chops about 2 pounds). Plus I used fresh squeezed orange and lime juice, and added a bit more adobo sauce than the recipe recommended. When using pork loin chops you have to watch how long you grill so it won't be dry shoe leather (3-4 minutes per side depending on the thickness).

Categories     Pork

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 chipotle chile in adobo
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
8 ounces pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth. Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag. Turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • NOTE: you can use the same marinade for a 1 pound tenderloin, however, the cooking time will be longer.

Tips:

  • Choose pork chops or tenderloin that are at least 1 inch thick to ensure they stay juicy during grilling.
  • Make sure to marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the pork to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • When grilling the pork, cook it over medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • If you are using a gas grill, preheat the grill to 400°F (200°C) before grilling the pork.
  • If you are using a charcoal grill, heat the coals until they are white-hot before grilling the pork.
  • Cook the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Cook the pork tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
