Best 5 Spice Crusted Pork Tenderloin With Andouille Sausage Gravy Recipes

HERB CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush over the pork.
• Combine fresh herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pork (or roll the pork in the mixture).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown pork, about 2 minutes per side.
• Place pork on a baking sheet and roast 18-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 145° F.
• Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SEASONED RUB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In separate bowl mix dry ingredients such as garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, thyme and salt. Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well to the tenderloin.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients until blended; set aside. In a large skillet, brown pork in oil on all sides. Stir in the gravy mixture, mushrooms and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until meat juices run clear and vegetables are tender. Serve over rice.

HOMEMADE ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine the pork, pork fat, Essence, paprika, garlic, black pepper, salt, file, chili powder, red pepper, and cumin in a large bowl and mix well. Pass through a food grinder fitted with a coarse die. (Alternately, transfer in 2 batches to a food processor and process until finely ground.) Transfer to a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• To test the seasoning, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet, and cook about 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Adjust seasoning, to taste.
• Using the sausage attachment on a mixer, stuff the meat into the casings, if being used. Twist and tie off to make 4-inch sausages. Alternately, shape into patties.
• Preheat a home smoker to 250 degrees F. Smoke the sausage for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the smoker and use as desired.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
