THAI MARINADE [STEAK, PORK, CHICKEN OR FISH] image

Categories     Marinade     Beef     Chicken     Citrus     Fish     Herb     Pork     Shellfish

4-5 Large Cloves Garlic

Steps:

The sauce will taste a little different every time, just because the chilies can be so unpredictable.

GRILLED OR PAN ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN IN HONEY LIME CHIPOTLE MARINADE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Grilled or Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin in Honey Lime Chipotle Marinade Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs pork tenderloin (2 small tenderloins)
1 cup lime juice, about 8 juicy limes
zest from 2 limes
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tbsp adobo sauce (from canned chilies)
peanut oil, or other high temperature oil
cilantro

Steps:

  • Trim tenderloins of fat and silver skin as much as possible. Place in a large ziploc bag or other container to marinate. In a bowl combine lime juice, zest, honey, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine, then pour half over tenderloins, reserving half for sauce. To tenderloins add chiles and adobo sauce. Seal and marinade in fridge. About 30 minutes before you are ready to cook, remove pork from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large, heavy oven-proof skillet (like a cast iron skillet), heat enough oil to coat over medium high temperature. Remove tenderloins from marinade and sear in hot skillet on all sides. Place the skillet in the oven and roast tenderloins for about 15 min. Check temperature with an instant read thermometer. Remove pork from the oven at approximately 140-145, cover pork in skillet with foil. Let rest on the counter for 5-10 minutes or until temperature rises to 150. Remove pork to a cutting board, pour reserved lime juice mixture into skillet with meat juices and heat on high. Allow sauce to reduce and thicken slightly, then pour over sliced pork tenderloins. If you don't have enough sauce or it thickens too much you can add a little water and continue simmering it until it is the quantity and thickness you want. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. If you choose to grill, start at step 5 and grill your tenderloins about 15 minutes. Remove from the grill to a platter at 140°F. Pour reserved lime juice mixture over meat and cover with foil. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Then slice, garnish with cilantro and serve.

ASIAN PORK STEAKS (MARINADE)



Asian Pork Steaks (Marinade) image

My Vietnamese fiance taught this to me. It has a strong flavor, so I serve it over a bed of rice with steamed veggies on the side. Regular Soy sauce works fine, but I prefer the low-sodium to ease the saltiness. You can fry, grill or broil the steaks, depending upon your taste. Very simple though! Prep time includes marinating, and cook time is for frying the steaks. --ETA-- I've made these as a dump recipe, and they worked great! I pour all the ingredients into a freezer bag, and when I wanted to cook them, I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. NOTE-- When you marinate them in a zippered bag, you only need half of the sauce to cover all the pork.

4 pork loin chops with bone, cut 3/4-inch thick
2 (6 ounce) cans unsweetened pineapple juice (1 1/2 c.)
3 scallions, white parts sliced into thin rounds
3 tablespoons ginger, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce

Tips:

  • Tenderize Meat: Use acidic ingredients like lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt to tenderize the pork. These acids help break down the proteins in the meat, making it more tender and juicy.
  • Enhance Flavor: Garlic, ginger, and herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano add depth of flavor to the marinade. Experiment with different combinations to create a marinade that complements the pork.
  • Season Wisely: Salt and pepper are essential for seasoning the pork. Add them to the marinade or rub them directly onto the meat before cooking.
  • Marinate for Time: The longer you marinate the pork, the more flavor it will absorb. For best results, marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Control Heat: Cook the pork over medium heat to prevent it from drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well-done.
  • Let It Rest: After cooking, let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

With the right marinade, cooking pork can be an easy and delicious experience. Experiment with different flavors and techniques to find the perfect combination that suits your taste buds. Remember, the key is to tenderize the meat, enhance its flavor, and cook it to perfection. So, fire up your grill or oven and let the aroma of succulent, flavorful pork fill your kitchen!
