Creole Mustard Marinated Pork Tenderloin Food

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

ANDOUILLE-STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH CREOLE MUSTARD

Steps:

• To prepare the brine, bring 6 cups water, the salt, sugar, peppercorns, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and onion to a simmer in a medium pot over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the ice cubes to cool.
• Place the pork loin in large freezer bag (or large plastic container with a lid). Pour the brine into the freezer bag, submerging the roast completely, seal, and set aside for 2 hours.
• Preheat the grill and set up two zones-one hot for searing and another medium for cooking through.
• Using the tip of a paring knife, pierce the casing of the sausage all over (this will ensure the flavor of the sausage goes into the pork as it cooks). Remove the pork from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels. Using a clean honing steel, poke a hole into the center of the loin lengthwise and work it all the way through so it creates a cavity. Insert the sausage into the cavity so that it sits neatly within the roast. Season the roast with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, and cumin.
• Wipe down the grates of the grill with oil-blotted towels. Place the roast on the hot part of the grill and sear fat side down, 3 to 4 minutes, and then on each of the three other sides. Transfer the roast to the cooler part of the grill (indirect heat) and cook until the internal temperature hits 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 45 to 55 minutes. Set the roast on a platter and tent with foil. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before carving into thick slices. Served drizzled with juices from the platter and the Creole mustard.
• Traditional Oven Cooking Method:
• Pan-roast the pork by searing the roast on all four sides in a hot cast-iron pan over high heat, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to a preheated 350 degrees F oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through to a temperature of 165 degrees F in the center. Rest the roast in the pan, then slice and serve with the pan juices and mustard.

PAN-FRIED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH CREOLE HONEY-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Start with the sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook for 1 minute, just to soften it a bit. Add the mustard, wine, Mutha Sauce, honey, and Creole Seasoning. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Keep warm on a back burner.
• Sharpen your knife and slice the pork loin into 3/4-inch medallions. You should get about 10. Season liberally on both sides with Creole Seasoning.
• Drag a large cast-iron skillet over to the stove and turn the heat up to high. Heat the pan til smoking hot, about 10 minutes. Pour in the oil and heat for about 30 seconds. Add a few medallions-don't crowd the pan-and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Take them out and put them on a platter. Keep warm while you cook the rest of the medallions.
• Swirl the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into the warm sauce. Serve these tasty medallions with some of the sauce spooned over each one. Any sauce that's left can be passed for ladling at the table.
