CHILI RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMED CORN



Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Creamed Corn image

Game Plan: Make the creamed corn while the pork is cooking and resting

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pork tenderloins, each about 1 pound
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Creamed Corn, recipe follows
6 ears fresh corn, husked, about 4 cups corn kernels
4 scallions (white and green)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup light cream
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Serving suggestions: Add other herbs like basil, cilantro, or parsley
  • Position a rack about 3-inches from the broiler and preheat. Line a broiler pan with foil. If there is sliver skin on the tenderloin, trim it off with a knife. Rub or brush the tenderloin with oil. Mix the chili powder with the salt and then sprinkle the spices all over the tenderloins and rub in well with your hands. Lay the tenderloin on the prepared pan, tucking the thin narrow tip of the tenderloin under so the meat is the same general thickness all the way down.
  • Broil the tenderloin until golden brown on 1 side, about 5 minutes. Turn and continue to cook on the other side, until brown about 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from the broiler, tent loosely with foil and set aside to finish cooking. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with creamed corn.
  • Shear the corn kernels from the cobs with a knife. Transfer the kernels to a bowl. Working over a bowl, run the knife along the cobs to press out the milky liquid. Discard the cobs. Slice the scallions, both white and a couple inches of the green into thin rounds. Separate the scallion whites and greens.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the corn, water, and salt, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a boil, and cook uncovered until slightly thickened, about 1 minute more. Stir in the scallion greens and tomatoes, season with black pepper and serve.

CHILI-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN

Number Of Ingredients 8

ngredients
Serves 4
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill pan
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine oil, garlic, and chili powder in a large, shallow dish. Add pork, and turn to coat evenly with chili mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: A pork shoulder or butt roast is the best cut for this recipe, as it has a good amount of fat that will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Make sure the pork is well-coated in the chili rub: This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the pork.
  • Cook the pork at a low temperature for a long period of time: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall-apart tender.
  • Let the pork rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more flavorful.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

This chili-rubbed pork recipe is a delicious and easy way to cook pork. The chili rub gives the pork a flavorful crust, while the slow cooking process makes the meat fall-apart tender. This recipe is perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal.
