Categories     Pork

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup good-quality all-natural cranberry juice or 3/4 cup unfiltered apple juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 shallots, cut in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the pork loin, pat dry, and place in a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish and set aside.
  • Whisk together the cherries, wine, vinegar, cranberry juice, garlic, shallots, and rosemary in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the pork, cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, divided
1/2 cup minced shallots, divided
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 pork tenderloins, about 2 1/2 pounds total
1/2 pound fresh cherries, stemmed, pitted,halved
1 fresh Fresno chile, red jalapeño, or Holland chile, thinly sliced crosswise
1 tablespoon. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Combine 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/4 cup minced shallots, 4 tablespoons lime juice, and vegetable oil in a resealable plastic bag. Add pork; seal bag and turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/4 cup shallots, 2 tablespoons lime juice, cherries, chile, and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season salsa lightly with salt and pepper and set aside to let flavors to meld.
  • Remove tenderloins from marinade and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Grill tenderloins, turning frequently, until a thermometer inserted into meat registers 145°F, about 15 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut into thin slices and serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • To ensure that your pork tenderloin cooks evenly, make sure it is roughly the same thickness throughout. If one end is significantly thicker than the other, consider slicing it in half horizontally and pounding it to an even thickness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the pork tenderloin. If necessary, cook the tenderloin in batches. This will help to prevent the meat from steaming rather than searing.
  • To make a quick and easy pan sauce, deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth after searing the pork tenderloin. Simply add the liquid to the pan and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it has reduced and thickened slightly.
  • To add a touch of sweetness and tartness to the dish, consider serving the pork tenderloin with a cherry sauce or chutney. You can also garnish the dish with fresh cherries or dried cherries.
