Chipotle Lime Marinated Grilled Pork Chops Or Tenderloin Food

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin.
• Place the lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and garlic powder in a small, lidded jar and shake to combine. Pour half of the marinade mixture into a 1-gallon resealable bag, add the chipotle pepper, and move around to combine. Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible and place in a container to catch any leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, rotating the bag halfway through the time. Place the remaining marinade in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the tenderloin from the bag and allow to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill. Remove the reserved marinade from the refrigerator.
• Fill a large chimney starter with natural lump charcoal and light. Once the charcoal is ashy and white, approximately 30 minutes, dump the hot charcoal onto the lowest grate of the grill and spread into an even layer using extra-long tongs. Place the cooking grate back on the grill and cover with the lid; heat the grate to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place in the center of grate. Discard bag with marinade. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloin from the grill and place on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil folded at the edges to create a basket, and pour on the reserved marinade. Wrap tightly and rest for 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine the chiles and adobo sauce, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and 5 teaspoons salt in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro and 1/3 cup olive oil; mix well. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the marinade, scraping off the excess, and transfer to a plate. Transfer the marinade to a skillet; add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid simmers and the onions start sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for basting. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.)
• Brush the chops with olive oil and transfer to the grill. Cook until marked, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pork 45 degrees halfway through to create a crosshatch pattern and brushing with the liquid from the marinade. Flip and repeat, brushing with more marinade, including some pieces of onion and tomato. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.

CHIPOTLE CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

• Lightly oil grill grate, and arrange meat on grate. Cook for 20 minutes, turning meat every 5 minutes. Remove from grill, let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

PERFECT GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat an outdoor grill to high heat, about 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare your chops by rubbing both sides with olive oil.
• In a small bowl, stir together paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture on each side of the pork chops and rub it in.
• Grill the chop by searing each side for 2 minutes over the high heat. Remove the chops to an upper rack or to a spot with indirect heat to finish cooking.
• Reduce the burners to medium, close the lid, and cook for about another 15 minutes more. Actual cooking time will depend on the heat of your grill and the thickness of your pork chop. Pork needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

COMBINE HONEY, LIME, AND CHIPOTLE FOR THE PERFECT PORK TENDERLOIN

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.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin.
• Put the lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and garlic powder in a small, lidded jar and shake to combine. Pour half of this marinade into a 1-gallon zip-top bag, add the chipotle pepper, and slosh around to combine. Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible, and place in a container to catch any leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, flipping the bag halfway through. Cover the jar with the remaining marinade and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the tenderloin to a plate and discard the bag and marinade. Allow the tenderloin to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill. Remove the reserved marinade from the refrigerator.
• Fill a large chimney starter with natural lump charcoal and light it. Once the charcoal is ashy and white, about 30 minutes, dump the hot charcoal onto the lowest grate of the grill and spread into an even layer using extra-long tongs. Place the cooking grate back on the grill and cover with the lid; heat the grate to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Place the tenderloin in the center of grate. Cover and cook until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140ºF, turning every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, about 12 to 15 minutes total.
• Remove the tenderloin from the grill and place on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil folded at the edges to create a basket, and pour on the reserved marinade. Wrap tightly and rest for 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

CHIPOTLE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth. Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag. Turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• NOTE: you can use the same marinade for a 1 pound tenderloin, however, the cooking time will be longer.

CHIPOTLE LIME PORK TENDERLOIN A LA ALTON BROWN

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°.

CHIPOTLE CHOPS

Steps:

• Season both sides of the chops with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 TBSP of the oil in a large texas skillet on medium heat and brown the chops on both sides for about 1 minute per side. Remove the chops to a plate.
• In the same skillet, heat the other TBSP of oil and add the onions, garlic, and chopped chipotle peppers. Saute the vegetables until the onions are soft, about 2 or 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low.
• Stir in the oregano, cumin, and adobo sauce. Stir all together and heat through, about 2 or 3 more minutes.
• Add the chops back to the skillet and keep the heat on low. Spoon the pepper and onion mixture over and around the chops.
• Cook the meat on low for 10 minutes on each side until no longer pink.
