Brown Sugar And Mustard Pork Tenderloin Food

BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Generously season tenderloin with salt and pepper. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mustard, brown sugar and thyme.
• Place a large sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil onto a baking sheet. Place onion slices in the center of the foil, in a single layer. Place pork over the onions and brush with 1/2 of the mustard mixture.
• Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 130 degrees F.
• Remove from oven. Open packet carefully by cutting along top fold with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape. When uncovered, brush with remaining mustard mixture. Leaving the packet open, broil for about 1 minute or until a nice crust forms on top. Remove from the oven and allow tenderloin to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mustard, sherry, and rosemary.
• Place the tenderloins in a baking dish or bowl. Season all over with 1¼ teaspoons salt and pour about one-third of the marinade over top. Turn the tenderloins a few times to coat evenly with the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight (the longer, the better). Cover the remaining marinade and refrigerate until ready to use (it will form the base of the sauce).
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat (see note below if you don't have one of these pans). Add both tenderloins and sear on all sides until nicely browned, 6 to 8 minutes (don't move the tenderloins around between turns; they will brown better if left alone). Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the pork registers about 140°F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes. (To check for doneness without a thermometer, make a slit in the thickest part of the loin; the meat should be mostly white with a slight hint of pale pink, and the juices should run mostly clear.)
• Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it is hot (it is easy to forget and burn yourself!). Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes, then cut into ¼- to ½-inch slices.
• Meanwhile, pour the remaining marinade into a small skillet and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and, stirring constantly, incorporate the butter one piece at a time. Add ⅛ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Arrange the sliced tenderloin on a platter and drizzle with a bit of the sauce; pass the remaining sauce at the table.
• Note: If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the pork to a foil-lined sheet pan after searing. (The foil is just for easy cleanup.) You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
• Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

CRANBERRY-MUSTARD PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce, lemon juice, mustard & brown sugar, then pour 1/3 of the mixture in the bottom of a 5-quart crock pot.
• Place tenderloins on top of the sauce, then pour the remaining sauce over the meat.
• Cover & cook on high for 1 hour, then turn the temperature to low & cook another 4 to 6 hours or until meat is tender.
• Allow meat to stand 10 minutes before slicing & serving.

BROWN SUGAR AND BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, water, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet.
• Combine garlic, sage, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub garlic mixture over pork tenderloins.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange tenderloins in the skillet and brown evenly, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the balsamic glaze.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn pork, brush again with glaze, and continue cooking until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes more, or until desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Remove tenderloin to a platter. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle a little extra glaze over the top. Carve and serve with remaining glaze on the side.

TENNESSEE PORK LOIN WITH WHISKEY, BROWN SUGAR, AND MUSTARD

Steps:

• Make Nashville Sweet: combine all the ingredients in a saucepan; whisk to mix.
• Let the sauce gradually come to a simmer over medium heat; simmer until thick and flavorful, 8-10 minutes; if not serving sauce immediately, let cool to room temperature; transfer to clean glass jars and refrigerate until ready to serve; bring to room temperature before using.
• Make the rub: add rub ingredients to a bowl; stir to mix (or use your fingers); stor rub in an airtight jar away from heat or light (keeps for 6 months); makes 2 cups; total amount used in this recipe is 2 tablespoons.
• Make the pork: butterfly the pork loin-using a very sharp knife, cut the roast almost in half lengthwise through one side (stop about 1-inch from the opposite side).
• Open the roast up as you would a book.
• Sprinkle the inside of the roast with 1 tablespoon of the whiskey; let is marinate for 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle a third of the rub (remember total amount of rub used it 2 tablespoons, so 1/3 of that amount) over the inside of the roast.
• Spread the mustard on top with a spatula; sprinkle the brown sugar on top of mustard.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons whiskey on top of the brown sugar.
• Fold the roast back together (like closing a book); sprinkle the remaining rub over the outside.
• Cut four 12-inch pieces of butcher's string; position the pieces of string on your work surface so they are parallel and about 2 inches apart.
• Place a slice of bacon across the strings so that it is perpendicular to and in the center of them.
• Set the roast on top of the bacon, positioning its long side parallel to the bacon.
• Place a slice of bacon on top of the roast; press the remaining 2 slices against the long sides of the roast.
• Tie each piece of string together around the roast so that they hold the slices of bacon against it; set roast aside.
• To make the glaze: combine the glaze ingredients together in a saucepan; boil until syrupy, 4-6 minutes; set the glaze aside.
• Set up grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium (if using a gas grill, place all of the wood chips in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke, then decrease the heat to medium; if using a charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center, preheat the grill to medium, then toss all of the wood chips on the coals).
• When ready to cook, place the pork roast on the grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat; cover the grill.
• Cook roast until cooked through, 1 to 1 ½ hours; test for doneness by inserting an instant read thermometer into the side of the roast; internal temperature should be about 160°.
• Start basting the roast with some of the glaze after 30 minutes and continue basting every 15 minutes.
• Transfer cooked roast to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes; remove and discard strings; slice roast crosswise and drizzle any remaining glaze over it.
• Serve with Nashville Sweet.
