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!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fragrant apricots: The quality of your salsa depends on the quality of your apricots. Look for apricots that are plump, have a deep orange color, and give off a sweet aroma.
  • Use a variety of colors: To make your salsa more visually appealing, use a variety of colored apricots. This will also add different flavors and textures to your salsa.
  • Chop the apricots evenly: This will help ensure that they cook evenly and that the salsa has a consistent texture.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, can add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Be sure to chop them finely before adding them to the salsa.
  • Don't overcook the apricots: Overcooked apricots will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Adjust the heat level to your taste: If you like spicy salsa, add a few chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers. If you prefer a milder salsa, omit the peppers or use a milder variety, such as poblano peppers.

Conclusion:

Apricot salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and tostadas. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. Apricot salsa is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful way to spice up your meal, try making apricot salsa. You won't be disappointed!
