Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pounds total)
2 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon chili powder

Steps:

  • In a bowl large enough to hold pork covered with water stir together salt and water until salt is dissolved and add pork, making sure it is completely covered by brine. Marinate pork, covered and chilled, 1 day.
  • Prepare grill.
  • In a small bowl stir together syrup and chili powder. Discard brine and diagonally cut pork into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Put pork between sheets of plastic wrap and flatten with a rolling pin to make 1/4-inch-thick cutlets. Pat pork dry and season with salt.
  • Grill pork on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Brush pork with glaze and grill 15 seconds more on each side. (Alternatively, pork may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)

GRILLED PORK CUTLETS



Grilled Pork Cutlets image

This recipe actually uses tenderized pork temple cutlets. It is my understanding they are cheek meat from the hog. They are little medallions of pork. They are very common in the midwest and most people bread and fry them or put them in a crockpot with mushroom soup. This recipe marinades and then grills them. This is one of...

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb tenderized pork temple cutlets
MARINADE INGREDIENTS
1/2 c soy sauce
2 clove minced garlic
1 tsp onion powder
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp bbq or hoisin sauce
1/2 c pineapple or apple juice
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Put cutlets in a large zip top bag.
  • 2. Combine marinade ingredients and pour over cutlets in the bag. Refrigerate for for several hours mixing the bag around every so often. I like to do this for at least a day.
  • 3. Drain cutlets after marinading and reserve juice if desired (suggestion later). Thread cutlets on skewers by size for outdoor grill. This is not necessary but makes them easier to turn. I do not do this for my countertop grill.
  • 4. Grill cutlets for a couple of minutes on each side until done. (Larger ones may take another minute or two.) Serve with fried rice and a side salad.
  • 5. I have also done these as an appetizer using the marinade. Simmer leftover marinade for a few minutes and strain if needed. Place grilled cutlets in a crockpot and pour marinade over them. Hold on low for a few hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Look for pork cutlets that are about 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that your cutlets are tender and juicy.
  • Brine the pork cutlets: Brining the pork cutlets in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can brine the cutlets for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Season the pork cutlets: Before grilling, be sure to season the pork cutlets with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Grill the pork cutlets over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the cutlets and prevent them from drying out. Cook the cutlets for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork cutlets rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful cutlets.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork cutlets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork cutlets are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Serve the grilled pork cutlets with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
