PORK STEAKS WITH CHERRY BARBECUE SAUCE



Pork Steaks with Cherry Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 to 5 teaspoons chile flakes, depending on how spicy you like it
Four 1 1/4-inch-thick pork butt steaks
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 jalapeño, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups pitted fresh cherries (frozen work, too)
One 7.5-ounce can cherry soda, like Dr. Pepper
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • For the rub: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pepper, salt, sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and chile flakes. Liberally sprinkle the pork steaks on both sides and allow to marinate, refrigerated, for 3 hours or up to overnight.
  • Set up your grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • Make the cherry barbecue sauce: Place a saucepan over the direct-heat side of the grill. Add a drizzle of olive oil along with the jalapeño and onion. Season with the coriander, cumin and salt and sweat until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cherries, cherry soda, molasses and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cherries have softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth. Add the balsamic and lemon juice and purée again. Transfer back to the saucepan and place on the indirect-heat side of the grill. Cook until the sauce thickens and reduces, about 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • Place the pork steaks on the indirect-heat side of the grill, close the lid and cook, keeping the temperature of the grill between 250 and 275 degrees F and basting with the cherry barbecue sauce once they have cooked for 2 hours, until the pork steaks are tender and an internal temperature reaches 195 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours total. Remove from the grill and allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with any remaining cherry barbecue sauce on the side.

Categories     Meat and Poultry     Pork     Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Time 8h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
2 cups olive oil
¾ cup soy sauce
2 medium limes, juiced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons flavor enhancer (such as Accent®)
1 (10 ounce) jar cherry preserves
½ cup red wine
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour in olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced onion, ginger, sugar, and flavor enhancer for marinade. Toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Remove pork from the refrigerator and place in a shallow baking pan. Cover with some of the marinade and discard the rest.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
  • While pork is resting, prepare sauce: Combine cherry preserves, wine, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Keep warm.

Tips:

  • To ensure the tenderness of the tenderloin steaks, it's crucial to cook them quickly over high heat. Searing the steaks in a hot pan or on a grill for a few minutes on each side creates a flavorful crust while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Invest in a good quality meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the steaks. This will help you achieve the desired doneness, whether you prefer rare, medium-rare, or medium.
  • Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and satisfying bite.
  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the sauce to ensure the best flavor. If fresh cherries are unavailable, frozen or canned unsweetened cherries can be substituted.
  • To thicken the cherry sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry, which is a mixture of cornstarch and water. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the slurry while stirring constantly until the desired consistency is reached.

Conclusion:

Tenderloin steaks with cherry sauce is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for special occasions or romantic dinners. The combination of tender, juicy steak and sweet, tangy cherry sauce creates a harmonious balance of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
