Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup whole Greek yogurt
4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 1-pound pork tenderloin
2 large ripe plums, halved and pitted (about 8 ounces)
5 ounces baby arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

Whisk the yogurt, goat cheese and 1/3 cup water in a mixing bowl until smooth. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the oil, the parsley and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat an outdoor grill or large cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the pork tenderloin with 1 more tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all sides and the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees F, 12 to 16 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush the cut side of the plums with 1 more tablespoon of oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place the plums, cut-side down, on the grill and cook until charred and the top of the flesh is just softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Some of the flesh might stick to the grill but that is okay, the plums will still have a nice, slightly charred flavor.
Remove the pork from the grill and rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly on a diagonal against the grain. Sprinkle the slices lightly with salt.
Toss the baby arugula with the remaining oil and the lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
To plate, divide the arugula salad among 4 plates, keeping the salad on 1 side of the plate. Smear some goat cheese sauce on the other side of the plates. Place several slices of pork tenderloin on top of the sauce and place 1 plum half on each plate. Serve any remaining goat cheese sauce on the side. Serve immediately.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large plums, halved and pitted
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
1/2 small head napa cabbage, chopped (about 5 cups)
4 ounces snow peas, trimmed and chopped (about 1 cup)
1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)
1 cup bean sprouts, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup chopped roasted salted cashews

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the five-spice powder, brown sugar and cayenne in a small bowl. Butterfly the pork: Slice lengthwise down the center, stopping about ½ inch before cutting all the way through. Open the pork like a book and flatten slightly with your hands. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet or a skillet until ½ inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper, then rub all over with the five-spice mixture; set aside. (This can be done up to 2 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
Make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, mustard and ginger in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup vegetable oil until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Brush the pork with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Grill until well marked and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
Toss the plums and scallions with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill, turning, until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the cutting board.
Combine the cabbage, snow peas, carrots, bean sprouts, mint and cashews in a serving bowl. Chop the pork, plums and scallions and add to the bowl along with the dressing; season with salt and black pepper and toss.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season plums. Look for plums that are deeply colored and slightly soft to the touch.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork tenderloin and plums in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
To make sure the pork tenderloin is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
The creamy goat cheese sauce is a great way to add richness and flavor to the dish. You can also use a different type of cheese, such as feta or blue cheese.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork tenderloin and plums with creamy goat cheese sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The sweet and juicy plums pair perfectly with the tender pork, and the creamy goat cheese sauce adds a touch of richness and tang. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
