Pork Tenderloin - Recipes

[JessicaR]

I have two pork tenderloins I need to cook tomorrow. Sometimes I crock pot them with pineapple, brown sugar and teriyaki. Sometimes I bake it BBQ style.

Looking for something different - any ideas?

I have a recipe that is basically the pork tenderloin, some onions, brown sugar and some chutney (kind of like an Indian salsa). I usually use a jar of mango chutney and then throw it all in the crockpot. I serve over rice.

Are they the long skinny tenderloins? If so, I season them with salt and pepper, brown them in a pan and then spread dijon mustard all over them. I then wrap Pepperidge Farms puff pastry dough around them and put them on a cookie sheet (with a rim because the juices can drip out). Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes (first time you do it you will have to check to make sure there is no pink then you will know about how long to cook it). These are yummy and look very elegant for a dinner party but so easy to do.

I salt,pepper and garlic all over - put a little olive oil in an oven safe pan. Brown the tenderloin and then put into a 375 oven until it's cooked through. (Usually only about 20 mintues?)

While that is cooking I make a glaze with whatever I have around. It's usually blackberry jelly, hot pepper flakes, white wine, balsamic vinegar- heat in a small pan. At the end I swirl in about a TBS of butter. It makes the sauce shiny.

I'm usually not a big fan of sweet sauces or glazes, but I'd gone to a friend's house for dinner and she made some sort of apple glaze out of applesauce. It was delicious!

really interested in this thread....I got one of those little skinny tenderloins last week (about 1.25 pounds) and found a recipe that called for it to be in the oven for 20 minutes at 500 degrees, then sitting out for 10 minutes.....well when we cut into it, 1/2 was white and the other 1/2 was pink! It was awful.....stuck it back into the oven another 20 minutes....same thing. I don't know if it was the tenderloin, the temperature, or what, but my first tenderloin experience was awful!

but down here there is a cajun injector (creole garlic flavor) and you can inject it with that, and bbq it...It is out of this world...

My favorite is when I make them with Soy sauce, Hoisin sauce (a few tbsps) and a clove of chopped garlic. If I have it, another few tbsps of orange juice. I baste it half way through cooking, so it gets a nice glaze. Yummm!

Pork Medallions with Cherry Sauce

Great suggestions! I never thought about wrapping in puff pastry. I like the apple idea and I think I'm going to go with that. I actually do have one of those injectors but never used it. I like the idea of grilling it too. I think next time I'll try it with a chutney.

The pork with cherry sauce - Yum!

Thanks for the ideas!

I crush garlic, salt, pepper, a little olive oil and rosemary together into a semi-paste. Then I cut holes in the meat and stuff the paste in. I then cover the outside of the loin with olive oil and the remainder of the paste. I cook at 350 until the inside temp reaches 160 degrees. Made these for 10-12 at a party the other week. It was simple and well received.

Oh, my goodness my mouth is watering...It all sounds good

I am SO going to try this !

 

[joyah]

Your welcome it's a favorite in our house and a few others that I've shared it with. We make maple syrup so it is a staple in many of my recipies.

 

[jlewisinsyr]

We rub a little dijon mustard and worchestire mix on the outside of the tenderloin and then wrap it in Prosciotto, bake it and it's so good!

Drizzle olive oil, sprinkle kosher salt, ground black pepper and rosemary on the top. Bake in 325 oven, uncovered, until the internal temp reaches 160.

I'm on Weight Watchers so if I have leftovers, I make a zero-points Asian soup. In each cup of soup, I add 3 oz thinly sliced tenderloin for a filling meal.

Here is the Asian soup recipe if you're interested:

2 cups bok choy, chopped
2 cups Chinese cabbage, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh ginger root, thinly sliced and julienned
4 small oyster mushrooms, chopped
2 cups scallions, chopped
1 cup canned water chestnuts, sliced (8 oz can)
1/2 cup red pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
6 cups vegetable broth
1 cup bean sprouts, optional
2 cups snow peas, stringed
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
Put bok choy, Chinese cabbage, garlic, ginger root, oyster mushrooms, scallions, water chestnuts, red bell pepper, red pepper flakes and vegetable broth into a large soup pot; stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partly covered, for about 10 minutes. Toss in bean sprouts, if using, and snow peas during the last 3 to 4 minutes of simmering.

Add soy sauce and cilantro. Serve.

Serving size: about 1 cup

I always buy that packet in the spice aisle (it's red, I don't remember the brand) which comes with a roasting bag. You stick the tenderloins in that bag, sprinkle the seasoning over the top, seal the bag and you are done. It always comes out great.

 

[marcyinPA]

We always marinate ours in whatever marinade I have on hand (most of the time, store bought. I love Wegman's Rosemary Balsamic marinade! ). Then we grill it. If I can't grill it, I'll roast it. I can't imagine putting a tenderloin in the crockpot. A pork loin roast, yes, but not a tenderloin.

 

[Silent1CB]

Dumb question. I've never bought pork tenderloin or eaten any.

I LOVE boneless pork roast however.

Would I like pork tenderloin? I know, silly question.
