Mustard Herb Grilled Tenderloin Food

GRILLED DIJON MUSTARD PORK TENDERLOIN.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the avocado oil, dijon mustard, garlic, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, and sea salt.
• Rub the seasoning mixture on the pork tenderloin. If desired, allow pork tenderloin to soak in the seasoning and come to room temperature--10-20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill using high heat.
• Grill tenderloin according to your grills instructions.* I grill over high heat with the lid open, turning the meat every 3-5 minutes until the center of the thickest point is one or two degrees below the desired temperature. If all sides are browned, but the tenderloin is not done, decrease the heat to low, allow the grill to cool a few minutes, then close the lid.
• Allow the tenderloin to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting. During this time, the internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise a few degrees.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-GARLIC-PEPPER COATING

Steps:

• Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
• Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
• Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

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.

HERB-STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim any fat from meat.
• Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut down the center of roast, cutting to, but not through, the other side.
• Spread the meat flat.
• Place tenderloin between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound meat lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to about a 13x8-inch rectangle.
• (If necessary, use a portion of a second tenderloin to make 18 ounces. Overlap and pound the pieces to make a single rectangle.) Fold in the narrow ends as necessary to make an even rectangle.
• Spread mustard evenly over tenderloin.
• Stir together spinach, herbs, bread crumbs, and egg white in a medium bowl.
• Spoon evenly over pork.
• Roll tenderloin up jelly-roll style, beginning at narrow end.
• Tie meat with string, first at center, then at 1-inch intervals.
• Place meat on rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• Brush oil over meat.
• Sprinkle with pepper.
• Roast, uncovered, in a 375 degree F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until meat is tender and slightly pink (160 degrees F) and juices run clear.
• Transfer to a warm platter.
• Remove strings; keep warm while preparing sauce.
• To serve, cut tenderloin into 12 slices.
• Spoon Mustard Sauce over each serving.
• Sprinkle with chives if desired.
• Mustard Sauce: In small saucepan combine sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon style mustard, and honey.
• Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or just until heated through.
• Do not boil.
• Serve immediately with pork slices.

• Transfer to an oiled shallow baking pan and coat with mustard mixture.
• Roast beef in middle of oven until a thermometer inserted 2 inches into thickest part of meat registers 125°F for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer to a cutting board and let stand until cool, at least 10 minutes.

HOMEMADE HERB MUSTARD

Steps:

• Place the mustard seeds and dry mustard in a spice grinder or blender and blend until the seeds are broken up. A coarse grind gives the mustard some texture. Place the ground mustard seed and dry mustard in a bowl and pour the water over the top. Stir and cover. Let the mixture stand for 4 to 5 hours, stirring a few times.
• Put the mixture in a food processor and add vinegar, honey, sugar, salt, pepper, basil, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Puree until it's smooth. If mustard seems too dry, add warm water to make a smooth paste. Store in a jar at room temperature until the mustard mellows to your taste, up to 2 weeks for a very mellow mustard. Enjoy!
