Lime and Chile Roasted Pork Shoulder image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 13h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 cloves garlic
2 scallions, sliced (white and green parts)
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 chipotle chile in adobo plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 (6 to 8-pound) Boston butt pork shoulder, bone-in
4 wide strips fresh lime zest
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup fresh orange juice
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cinnamon sticks, broken up

Steps:

  • 1. Pulse the garlic, scallions, coriander, chipotle chile, cumin, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor or mini-chopper to make a thick paste. If the butcher didn't trim the fat cap on the pork shoulder, trim off all but a thin layer of fat. Make deep incisions with a paring knife, at about 2-inch intervals, all over the meat. Rub the garlic and spice mixture into and all over the meat.
  • 2. Combine the lime zest and juice, orange juice, adobo sauce, olive oil, and cinnamon in a nonreactive stainless steel or glass bowl. Add the meat, cover tightly with plastic wrap, making sure the meat is submerged. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up 2 days. Bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting.
  • 3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the pork, fat-side up, in a large Dutch oven. Roast the meat, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Add the marinade to the pot and cover with the lid. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and roast for 2 hours more. Uncover and continue to cook, basting occasionally, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the meat registers 190 degrees F and the meat is a rich burnished brown, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Set aside on a cutting board to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
  • 4. For the sauce: Strain the pan drippings through a fine mesh sieve into a gravy separator and discard all excess fat. In a small saucepan, mix the pan drippings with 1/2 cup water and bring to a vigorous boil. Slice the meat and serve with the pan drippings.

Combine Honey, Lime, and Chipotle for the Perfect Pork Tenderloin image

Put the orange juice, lime juice, zest, honey, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chipotles and adobo in a blender or large food processor, and pulse a few

Provided by Ben Rayl

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup orange juice, fresh squeezed
¼ cup lime juice, fresh squeezed
zest from 1 lime
¼ cup honey
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1½ tsp ground cumin
2 tsp dried oregano
1 chipotle chile, chopped
1 Tbsp adobo sauce, from canned chipotles
1 (1-lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the orange juice, lime juice, zest, honey, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chipotles and adobo in a blender or large food processor, and pulse a few times to make sure it's well blended. Put the tenderloin in a large zip lock bag and pour in about half of the marinade. Make sure the pork is completely surrounded by marinade by removing as much air as possible from the bag, then put it in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, up to 24. Put the remaining marinade in a sealed container in the fridge. Remove the tenderloin and reserved marinade about 30 minutes before you're ready to cook it and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 425°F (225°C). Heat the oil in a cast iron (or oven safe) skillet over medium high heat. Place the tenderloin in the skillet and sear on all sides; about 2 - 3 minutes per side, then place the skillet in the oven and continue to roast the tenderloin for about 15 more minutes. Remove the tenderloin from the skillet to a plate, and cover with a foil tent while you make the sauce. Put the skillet (with juices in it) back over a high flame, and pour in the reserved marinade. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens. After letting the tenderloin rest for about 10 minutes under the foil, place it on a cutting board and slice into medallions. Serve topped with the sauce and sprinkled with chopped cilantro.

Chipotle Lime Pork Tenderloin a la Alton Brown image

An Alton Brown inspired pork tenderloin infused with a chipotle lime marinade that will leave them asking for more. Just follow these easy step by step photo instructions.

Provided by Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan

Categories     Main Course

Time 6h40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pork tenderloin
1/2 cup lime juice
2-4 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Penzy Chipotle powder

Steps:

  • Trim the pork tenderloin and remove the silverskin.
  • Combine spices with lime juice and honey. Mix well. The Tupperware mixer works well here.
  • Add half the mixture to a 1 gallon Ziploc, add the tenderloin, remove as much air as possible. Seal and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. But up to 24 hours is fine.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the refrigerator and allow to rest at room temp for 30 minutes. Clean and oil grates. Preheat grill to a surface temperature of about 450°. That is medium on my grill which is hot. Most grills will be medium-high.
  • Place over direct heat. Cook with a closed lid. Rotate the tenderloin 1/3 every 5 minutes for about 20-25 minutes until an internal temperature of 140°. Please never cook by time alone. Use an instant-read thermometer, please.
  • Make an aluminum foil "boat." Add reserved marinade to the foil boat and moved tenderloin to the boat. Seal the foil tightly and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. FYI, I checked the temp at this point, and it was 151°.
