GRILLED BANANA PEPPER COMPOTE-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat.
• Drizzle the banana peppers and the jalapeno with vegetable oil and season with salt. Place on the grill over direct heat; grill on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside to cool before removing the stems and seeds.
• Combine the cider vinegar, mustard, brown sugar and 3 ounces water in a medium pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, add the grilled banana peppers and the jalapeno to a food processor; pulse until smooth. Add the pureed peppers to the simmering vinegar mixture, stirring until combined. Slowly whisk in the flour, taking care not to create clumps. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce reduces by one-quarter to an apple-butter consistency, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Set aside 3/4 cup for glazing the pork; the remainder to be used for serving.
• Drizzle the pork tenderloin with vegetable oil and sprinkle heavily with salt and pepper on all sides. Grill over direct heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Brush with 2 tablespoons of the banana pepper compote and move to indirect heat. Cook until an internal temperature of 140 degrees F is reached, rotating the pork 45 degrees every 5 minutes, and brushing it with 2 tablespoons of the compote after each rotation, 35 to 45 minutes total.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEPPERCORN GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F.
• Prepare the pork tenderloin by removing the silver skin and any visible fat. Season with some salt and set aside.
• Heat an oven-proof skillet on the stove-top over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and heat. Add the pork tenderloin and cook, turning as needed, until it is seared and golden on all sides.
• Place skillet with the pork into the preheated oven and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145F, when measured in the thickest part of the meat, about 20-25 minutes.
• While pork is cooking, gather and measure out your sauce ingredients and have handy.
• Remove skillet from oven. Remove pork to to a cutting board to rest and loosely tent with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Place the hot skillet back on the stovetop over medium-high heat. To the skillet, add butter and melt, scraping up in bits in the bottom of the pan. Add the onions and peppercorns and stir until the onions are starting to colour, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the broth, Dijon mustard and thyme. Reduce heat to medium and allow sauce to simmer/reduce for a few minutes to blend the flavours and reduce slightly. Add cream, if using and stir to combine and warm through. Taste the sauce and season with salt, as needed. To thicken the gravy, combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Add a bit at a time to your hot gravy, stirring well after each addition, until desired thickness is achieved.
• Cut pork tenderloin into slices and spoon hot gravy over-top, to serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BURGUNDY PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare the tenderloin: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Trim pork tenderloin of any excess fat, and remove silver skin. (For a helpful video on how to remove silver skin, see here.)
• Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season the tenderloin with the freshly-cracked black pepper, and press to be sure it sticks. Add to the skillet and cook, turning as needed, for 4 to 5 minutes (about 1 minute per side), until evenly browned. Transfer tenderloin to a greased baking dish, and place it in the oven to roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees. Remove dish from oven and transfer the tenderloin to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• To make the sauce: Meanwhile, in a skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat, add the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and saute 1 more minute. Add the red wine and as it boils, deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon (helps to have one with a straight edge) to dislodge all the browned bits. Once the wine is almost cooked away, add the beef stock and turn the heat to high. Boil the sauce down until there's a noticeable trail when you drag a wooden spoon through the center of it (4-5 minutes).
• Pour in the heavy cream and resume boiling. Again, boil down until you can make that telltale trail from the wooden spoon. Turn off the heat and add the parsley and any remaining black pepper (no more than 1 Tbsp, the rest should have already been used to pepper the tenderloin). Taste for salt and add if needed.
• Cut the tenderloin on a slight diagonal (in 1/2″ or 1″ slices), and then spoon the sauce over to serve.
