Indonesian Pork Tenderloin: A Culinary Journey of Flavors

Pork tenderloin is a versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. In this article, we'll take you on a culinary journey to Indonesia, where we'll explore two tantalizing recipes that showcase the unique flavors of this Southeast Asian country.

The first recipe is our signature Indonesian Pork Tenderloin Satay, a dish that combines succulent pork tenderloin with the aromatic flavors of Indonesian spices. The tenderloin is marinated in a blend of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a medley of Indonesian spices before being grilled to perfection. Served with a creamy peanut sauce and a side of fragrant jasmine rice, this dish is a delightful harmony of flavors and textures.

Our second recipe is a traditional Indonesian Pork Tenderloin Rendang, a dish that embodies the rich and complex flavors of Indonesian cuisine. The pork tenderloin is slow-cooked in a flavorful broth made with coconut milk, a variety of spices, and aromatic herbs. The result is a tender and succulent pork dish with a deep and captivating flavor profile. Served with steamed rice and a side of sambal, this dish is a true testament to Indonesian culinary artistry.

INDONESIAN PORK TENDERLOIN

Categories     Pork     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine preserves, garlic, coriander, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, peanut butter, lime juice, orange juice, crushed red pepper and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk well to combine, paying attention to break up the peanut butter. Place pork tenderloin in gallon sized Ziploc bag and pour the marinade on top. Squeeze out the air, and seal, using your hands to squish bag and distribute marinade evenly. Place in refrigerator and let marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours. Preheat oven to 425. Heat the vegetable oil in large oven-proof skillet (I like cast iron) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork tenderloin, and sear on all sides, until it's nicely browned - about 7 minutes or so. Place the entire skillet into the preheated oven, and cook until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees - about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. While the pork is in the oven, pour the marinade into a small saucepan. If it seems too thick, add a splash or orange juice or water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then turn off heat. Pour sauce over the sliced tenderloin and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloin before cooking.
  • Marinate the pork tenderloin: Marinating the tenderloin in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin to the proper temperature: The USDA recommends cooking pork tenderloin to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to the proper temperature.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: Allowing the pork tenderloin to rest for a few minutes before slicing will help to keep the juices in the meat.

Conclusion:

Indonesian pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork tenderloin turns out perfectly every time.
