Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
2 cups olive oil
¾ cup soy sauce
2 medium limes, juiced
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons flavor enhancer (such as Accent®)
1 (10 ounce) jar cherry preserves
½ cup red wine
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup slivered almonds

Steps:

Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour in olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced onion, ginger, sugar, and flavor enhancer for marinade. Toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Remove pork from the refrigerator and place in a shallow baking pan. Cover with some of the marinade and discard the rest.
Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
While pork is resting, prepare sauce: Combine cherry preserves, wine, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Keep warm.
Drizzle sauce over pork, top with almonds, and serve.

Categories Fruit Pork Roast Quick & Easy Dinner Cherry Pork Tenderloin Summer Jalapeño Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 pound dark sweet cherries, pitted and chopped (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped seeded fresh jalapeño chili (wear rubber gloves)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh coriander
3/4 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
2 tablespoons crushed black peppercorns
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a bowl stir together cherries, lime juice, zest, onion, jalapeño, and coriander.
Season pork with salt and press peppercorns into it. In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork on all sides.
Transfer pork to a shallow baking dish and roast in oven until a meat thermometer registers 155°F., about 20 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Slice pork into 1/2-inch-thick medallions and serve with salsa.

Tips:

Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness.
Trim the tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloin.
Marinate the tenderloin: Marinating the tenderloin in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat.
Grill the tenderloin over medium heat: This will help to prevent the meat from drying out.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the tenderloin should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
Let the tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Serve the tenderloin with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for grilled pork tenderloin include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or grilled fruit.

Conclusion:

Grilled pork tenderloin with cherry salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tenderloin is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, then grilled to perfection. The cherry salsa adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish.
