MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN



Mustard-Glazed Pork Tenderloin image

This savory-sweet treatment for pork tenderloin was brought to The Times in 1989 by the inimitable Marian Burros. With just five ingredients - pork, brown sugar, whole-grain mustard, rosemary and sherry - you have an extremely simple though supremely satisfying dish. We like ours served with mashed sweet potatoes and a pile of sautéed greens, and the leftovers make great sandwiches.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloins
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or dried rosemary
2 tablespoons dry sherry

Steps:

  • Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
  • Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs pork tenderloin (two tenderloins, 1 lb each)
2 tablespoons creole seasoning (Zatarains or Tony Cacheres)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup Bourbon
1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup cane syrup
2 tablespoons TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
1/4 cup creole mustard
Tabasco sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Wash the pork tenderloins and pat dry. Rub them generously with the Cajun rub.
  • Preheat the grill on medium high heat. Place on grill for a few minutes on high. Sear until grill marks appear on all sides of the pork. Blackening will enhance the flavor.

  • Meanwhile, make the glaze by placing all ingredients in a small saucepan and bringing to a boil. Lower heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  • After 30 minutes on the grill (from Step 3), turn and baste the tenderloin with the bourbon-mustard glaze. Continue grilling for 15 minutes, turn and baste again, and continue grilling for 15 more minutes, for about an hour total.
  • Insert a meat thermometer and when the pork reaches 150°F, remove to a platter. Cover with foil and let rest about 15 minutes. Slice and serve with extra glaze.

CAJUN PORK



Cajun Pork image

Tina Gantner of Matthews, Missouri writes, "It took me a few tries to perfect this recipe, but now it's a favorite in our household. More Cajun seasoning can be added, but it tends to make the dish too hot for children. Chicken breast can be substituted for the pork tenderloin and rice can be used instead of the noodles."
