Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork bone-in rib chops, about 3/4-inch thick, trimmed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pineapple Salsa*:
3 slices pineapple, cut crosswise about 1/2-inch thick, trimmed OR 3 slices canned pineapple, drained
1 jalapeno pepper, halved lengthwise, seeds and veins removed
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt, to taste
*Or substitute any store-purchased fruit salsa.

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, combine chili powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Sprinkle both sides of pork with spice mixture.
  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill pork until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill pineapple (if using fresh) and jalapeno until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chops from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, dice pineapple and finely dice jalapeno. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, jalapeno, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.
  • Bell peppers or zucchini, cooked on the grill with the rest of the meal, would be an easy and flavorful side dish. Grill-warmed tortillas would be nice, too. You can also make the recipe using bone-in center rib chops or boneless chops. You can make the salsa with grilled peaches, nectarines or mangoes. If you like, add chopped onion or cilantro to the salsa. Likewise, feel free to play with the rub ingredients to make the mixture your own.

CHILI-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN



Chili-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin image

To make the pork on an outdoor grill, cook directly over medium-high heat, turning every few minutes, until grill marks appear on all sides. Then transfer to indirect heat until pork reaches desired doneness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

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:

  • 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. Sprinkle pork with sesame seeds, and press seeds into meat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, and brush with oil. Add pork, and cook until browned and grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer pan to oven. Roast pork to desired doneness, 17 to 18 minutes for medium. Let stand for at least 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with pan juices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your kebabs.
  • Don't overcook the pork. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Make the pineapple salsa ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the kebabs with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Chili rubbed pork kebabs with pineapple salsa are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple salsa is the perfect complement. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook pork, give these kebabs a try. You won't be disappointed.
