ASIAN MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, scallions, and orange zest. Add the pork to the bowl and turn to coat with the marinade. Let the chops sit in the marinade for a few minutes.
• Coat a large saute pan with oil and bring to a high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade. Sear the chops 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pork from the pan.
• Ditch the excess oil from the pan. Place the saute pan on the hottest burner. Add the marinade to the pan-it should come to a boil instantly. WARNING: This liquid MUST be brought to a boil to kill any bacteria from the raw meat juices.
• Turn off the heat. Place 2 chops on a plate, spoon a few drops of the marinade over top, and serve with Sugar Snap Peas and Spinach with Ginger.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the snap peas in the boiling water until they are cooked but still crunchy, and then immediately plunge them into the salted ice water. Remove them from the ice water and reserve.
• Coat a large saute pan with oil. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallions and cook over medium-high heat until the scallions are soft and translucent.
• Add the sugar snap peas and toss to coat in the oil. Add the spinach and toss with the peas until the spinach starts to wilt. Remove from the heat, season with salt. Toss or stir the spinach to finish wilting and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Snappy!

ORANGE AND GINGER GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• To make the marinade: Combine the orange juice, vinegar, ginger, and orange zest in a small bowl.

• To make the Orange-Ginger Sauce: Melt the marmalade in a small pan. Add the ginger, soy sauce, cider vinegar, and mustard, stirring to combine; keep warm.
• Prepare the grill with a medium-hot fire.To gauge the heat, hold your hand palm down about 4 inches above the grill. If you can hold it there for only 5-6 seconds it means you have a medium hot fire.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Grill, turning at least once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat reads 150F, 15 to 20 minutes. Brush with some of the Orange-Ginger Sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Allow the meat to rest on a cutting board tented with aluminum foil for a few minutes before slicing. Slice the meat 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.

ORANGE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

• Make the orange marinade by whisking together the orange juice, soy sauce, rosemary, and garlic. Pour over pork tenderloin and marinate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Drain pork, reserving the marinade, and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for about 20 minutes until internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SPICY PEPPER JELLY-MARINATED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Rinse the pork, pat dry, remove the silver skin (see Know-how, page 81), and trim any excess fat. Place in a shallow container or large resealable bag.
• Whisk together the pepper jelly, wine, orange zest and juice, vinegar, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork and turn to coat evenly. (Or, if using a bag, pour the marinade into the bag, seal, and shake to coat the pork.) Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Turn the pork several times to distribute the marinade evenly.
• When ready to cook the pork, prepare a hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill and let the coals burn to gray ash with a slight red glow. Keep the coals on one side of the grill to create areas of direct and indirect heat (see Know-how, page 151); if using a gas grill, heat just one side on medium.
• Remove the pork from the marinade, reserving the marinade, and season with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the hot grill directly over the coals and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning three times and basting often with the reserved marinade. Move the pork away from the coals, close the grill or cover the pork with foil, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until an internal thermometer inserted in the tenderloin reads 145°F for medium (this is what I prefer) or 160°F for medium-well.
• Remove the pork from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve warm with additional pepper jelly on the side.

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove pork from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook the pork tenderloins on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
