Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
10 bamboo skewers
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
3 cups cubed fresh pineapple
2 red bell peppers, cut into cubes
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, lime juice, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic in a large resealable bag. Seal and shake up to combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
  • While the pork is marinating, soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes prior to using them. That will help the skewers to not burn up when exposed to the flame.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with a small amount of vegetable oil.
  • Thread the skewers with marinated pork, pineapple, and red pepper, alternating back and forth; discard the marinade.
  • Cook skewers on the preheated grill until they obtain grill marks and the pork is no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH PINEAPPLE GLAZE



Roasted Pork Loin with Pineapple Glaze image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     main-dish

Time 14h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 cups warm water
6 cups cold water
1 (3 1/2-pound) center-cut boneless pork loin
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup dried prunes, halved
1 pound pearl onions, peeled
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 cup pineapple juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the brine: Combine the salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, coriander seeds, and 2 cups warm water in a large bowl. Stir until the salt dissolves. Add 6 cups cold water. Add the pork, cover, and refrigerate overnight (the pork should be submerged in the liquid).
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the herb rub: Mix the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl. Remove the pork from the brine and pat it dry (discard the brine). Spread the herb mixture over the pork loin, making sure you coat all sides of the loin.
  • For the pork: Heat the olive oil in a medium, heavy saute pan over high heat. Add the pork and sear until browned, 4 minutes. Carefully turn the pork over and sear until browned, another 4 minutes. Meanwhile, add the prunes and pearl onions to a 10 by 7 by 2-inch glass baking dish, creating a bed for the loin. Transfer the seared pork loin to the baking dish (making sure the loin fits in the baking dish, leaving a 1-inch border on every side).
  • Add the wine to the same saute pan used to sear the pork and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove the browned bits, until almost evaporated, about1 minute. Stir in the pineapple juice and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the pork. Season the prunes and onions with salt and pepper.
  • Place the pork in the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degrees F, about 1 hour, basting with the pan juices every 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let it stand for 10 minutes. Slice the pork into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange on a platter. Top the pork slices with the pearl onions, prunes, and sauce.
  • Cook's Note: In place of a 3 1/2-pound pork loin, you can use 2 (1 1/4-pound) pork tenderloins. The total cooking time will be about 1 hour.

PINEAPPLE PORK LOIN



Pineapple Pork Loin image

I was in a creative mood last Friday and decided to do some experimenting with pork and pineapple. After mixing the ingredients together and smelling it, I thought I might just have a winner with my family. After it had cooked and cooled a little, I let my girls try it. To my surprise, my 5-year-old, who is very picky, loved it and kept asking for more. I guess I should try to experiment more often.

  • Combine pineapple juice, Worcestershire, mustard, and garlic-pepper seasoning in a small bowl. Pour mixture over the pork loin and allow to marinate in a refrigerator for 20 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove pork from the refrigerator.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour crushed pineapple on top. Continue to bake until pork is slightly pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
