Best 4 Pickled Pork Tenderloin Recipes

PICKLED PORK

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients except the ice and the pork in a 2-quart nonreactive saucepan, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and maintain a simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the ice and stir. Place the pork into a 1-gallon zip top bag and add the cooled pickling liquid. Remove as much air as possible; seal the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 days, turning the bag occasionally. Use within 2 weeks or remove from the pork from the brine and freeze.

THAI PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PICKLED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the vinegar, sugar, fish sauce and pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar, and remove from heat. Allow to cool (you can use an ice cube or 2 to help this happen faster). Place carrots, cucumber, radish, and jalapeño in a small bowl and pour vinegar mixture over the top, pushing vegetables down to fully submerge.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Season pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon The Spice Hunter Thai Seasoning Blend. Grill pork, turning to sear on all sides about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and allow pork to continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing.
• Meanwhile, remove vegetables from vinegar (reserve liquid) and toss with remaining 1/4 teaspoon The Spice Hunter Thai Seasoning Blend and herbs. Transfer sliced pork to a serving platter and top with vegetable-herb mixture and cashews. Drizzle with spoonfuls of the reserved pickling liquid and serve with rice.
