Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F, then put the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar with the Dijon mustard, paprika & ginger, then spread HALF of this mixture over the pork tenderloin, before baking uncovered for 15 minutes.
- When the 15 minutes are up, spread the pork with the remaining brown sugar mixture & bake 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F, but if you're a traditionalist, you'll want the thermometer to read 160 degrees F!
- Meanwhile, for the salsa, in a small mixing bowl, combine the bell pepper & onion with the last tablespoon of brown sugar, along with the cup of diced pineapple & pineapple juice.
- When the pork comes out of the oven, let it stand briefly before slicing the meat & serving it with a generous portion of salsa.
MARINATED PORK CHOP WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA
Steps:
- For the marinade:
- Blend all the ingredients in a large bowl. Place in a resealable plastic bag and add the pork chops. Marinate in the refrigerator for up to 3 hours.
- For the salsa:
- Mix all the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl. Taste for seasoning. Set aside for 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Remove chops from marinade. Grill for 5 minutes per side for a medium rare and 8 minutes for medium. Remove chops from grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Spoon the salsa on top.
Tips
- For a quicker marinade, use a food processor to combine the pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Pulse until the salsa is finely chopped but not pureed.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork tenderloin in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan before adding the pork.
- To make sure the pork tenderloin is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion
This pork tenderloin with pineapple salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The pork is tender and juicy, and the pineapple salsa adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
