MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICY ORANGE VINAIGRETTE AND BLACK BEANS AND RICE
Steps:
- Place the soaked beans in a large saucepan, cover with water, add the ham hock and beer. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 11/2 hours. Drain. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until almost smoking. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the rice and cook, stirring until it is coated with the oil, about 2 minutes. Add the water and 1 tablespoon salt, stir, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Place the basil, pine nuts and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth. Slowly add the oil to make a smooth paste. Combine the cooked rice and beans in a large saucepan and cover with water, cook over medium heat until almost dry. Add the pesto and stir to incorporate. Stir in the cheese, parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat orange juice in a medium saucepan and reduce to 1/4 cup. Let cool slightly. Combine the orange syrup, vinegar, mustard and ancho chile powder in a blender and blend 30 seconds. With the motor running slowly add the oil until the dressing emulsifies. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade, pour the remaining marinade into a large baking dish, add the tenderloin and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Preheat grill pan until almost smoking. Remove pork from marinade and grill for 10 to 12 minutes basting with the reserved marinade. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Spoon rice and beans onto a large platter, top with sliced pork and drizzle with Spicy Orange Vinaigrette.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm and evenly colored. Avoid any tenderloins that are bruised or have a slimy texture.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin: Marinating the pork tenderloin helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple olive oil, garlic, and herb marinade is a good option.
- Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the tenderloin while cooking it evenly on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the desired doneness: The internal temperature of the tenderloin should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in the tenderloin and prevent it from drying out.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides: Some good options include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
