Best 6 Nifs Broiled Guinness Pork Tenderloin Recipes

COFFEE-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Combine the coffee, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, cumin and paprika in a small bowl and mix well. Drizzle the pork tenderloin with 2 tablespoons olive oil and evenly sprinkle the rub all over, patting to adhere. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Toss the green beans in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
• Put the pork in the center of a large cast-iron skillet or heavy ovenproof skillet and scatter the green beans around it. (The pork should be directly on the pan, not on top of the green beans.) Broil for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the pork and tossing the green beans halfway through cooking. When ready, an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the pork should register 145 degrees F and the green beans should be tender and lightly charred.
• Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain. Serve with the green beans.

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

NIF'S BROILED GUINNESS PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a resealable bag and seal. Massage meat to ensure even distribution of marinade. Remove all air from the bag so all the meat is covered and you won't have to rotate the meat. An easy way to do this is to fill your sink with water, submerge the open bag in as far as you can without water getting into it. That will push all of the air out. Seal.
• Marinate in fridge for 2-6 hours.
• Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and turn on broiler. Remove pork from the bag and let drip dry. Discard marinade. Set tenderloins on a baking sheet (I put them on nonstick tin foil) and put in oven. Cook for 6 minutes on each side. Turn oven off and let pork continue cooking until it registers 150°F Meat should be slightly pink in the middle. It should reach 160F by the end of rest time.
• Remove from oven, cover with tin foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice tenderloin into 1/2" to 1" medallions.

GUINNESS & HONEY GLAZED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• To make the glaze, put the Guinness, honey and sugar into a pan. Reduce by almost half to form a sweet syrupy glaze, then allow to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want, place on a baking tray and roast for 20 mins. Then turn the heat down to 160C/fan 140C/gas3. Remove the pork from the oven and brush all over with most of the glaze (reserving a few tbsp) cook for a further 40-50 mins, brushing and basting the pork as it cooks until it's beautifully caramelised and glazed.
• Remove the pork from the roasting tray and leave to rest. Pour the remaining glaze into the roasting tray, then add the wine, Champagne or water. Place the pan on the heat and bring everything to the boil, simmer for a few mins until you have thick gravy. Carve pork into thin slices and place on top of the colcannon (see separate recipe). Glaze with the Guinness syrup, drizzle a little on the plates and finish with a sprig of parsley.

NIF'S LAST MINUTE RIBS OR PORK RIBLETS

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the ribs to a gentle boil. Add salt, pepper, whole garlic cloves and bay leaves to the water. Meanwhile remove the silver skin from the back of the racks and cut rib racks in half. Add ribs to water. Boil for 30 minutes and strain.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut rib racks into individual ribs and place in a baking pan lined with tin foil, for easier clean up. Sprinkle ribs with seasoning and toss. ***If you are using a salty seasoning, be careful not to use too much and don't use salt at the end. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a wire rack on a cookie sheet. I lined the sheet with tin foil as well. Place ribs on the rack.
• Broil ribs until they are medium brown. In my oven, they are done after 4 minutes under a high broil setting. If you have time, you can turn them over and broil the other side. Sprinkle with freshly ground sea salt and pepper to taste. Do not add the salt if your seasoning is salty.
• Make sure you taste them! I added more of my dry rub seasoning at this point because they needed a bit more flavour.

GUINNESS & HONEY GLAZED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• THE GLAZE: Put the Guinness, honey and sugar into a pan, and reduce by almost half to form a sweet, syrupy glaze, then allow to cool.
• Heat the oven to 200ºC/fan 180ºC/gas 6.
• Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want, place on a baking tray, and roast for 20 minutes. Then turn the heat down to 160ºC/fan 140ºC/gas 3. Remove the pork from the oven and brush all over with most of the glaze (reserving a few tablespoons), cook for a further 40-50 minutes, brushing and basting the pork as it cooks until it's beautifully caramelised and glazed.
• Remove the pork from the roasting tray and leave to rest.
• Pour the remaining glaze into the roasting tray, then add the wine, Champagne or water. Place the pan on the heat and bring everything to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes until you have a thick gravy.
• Carve the pork into thin slices and place on top of the colconnan (see Colconnan recipe #123663). Glaze with the Guinness syrup, drizzle a little on the plates and finish with a sprig of parsley.
• My Notes: I really don't think you could get any clearer instructions than Kevin Dundon's. Yet the recipe is far from prescriptive. And I just love his catering for varied tastes in his "Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want" instruction! And the option of using "wine, Champagne or water". I'll be looking closely at any more of his recipes I come across.
