Zippy Paste For Pork Tenderloin Food

OVEN ROASTED PORK FILLET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Trim off any gristle from the pork fillets, cut them in half crosswise and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan and fry the meat for 2 to 3 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer to a roasting dish and cook in a preheated oven for 15 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from the oven, wrap in foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, fry the almonds alone in a clean frying pan, without oil or butter, stirring until browned; allow to cool slightly. Place in a food processor with the garlic, parsley and remaining oil. Blend to form a fairly smooth paste. Stir in the parmesan and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Slice the pork, arrange it on plates with any pan juices and serve it with boiled new potatoes and salad drizzled with spoonfuls of the pesto.

PORK TENDERLOIN TACOS

Steps:

• Don't prep any of the ingredients until you marinate the pork.
• Using a sharp knife, cut pork tenderloin into ¼-inch slices. Cut slices into 1/8-1/4-inch strips.
• Add soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, honey, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add sliced pork. Use tongs to toss the pork in the marinade.
• Prep and chop the ingredients.
• Add corn, red pepper, jalapeno, one garlic clove, cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a medium bowl. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• After assembling salsa, give the pork a stir.
• Add Greek yogurt, chipotle in adobo, remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice, remaining garlic clove, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• If the pork hasn't marinated for at least 15 minutes, let it marinate until you reach 15 minutes. You can also marinate the pork tenderloin up to three days in advance in the refrigerator.
• Drain the marinade from the pork and discard. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. This will help to sear the pork versus steam it.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Once the skillet is very hot, add ¾ tablespoon of the oil, about 2 teaspoons to the skillet. Swirl to coat. Add half of the pork tenderloin. Make sure the pork is evenly spread out on the pan. Don't move it so it can sear properly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and sear on the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Pork tenderloin cooks very quickly. Remove from the pan and repeat with remaining half of the pork.
• While the pork cooks, place corn tortillas in a kitchen towel. Heat for 35 seconds until warm and pliable. You can also char them over a gas stove flame.
• To assemble. Transfer pork to tortilla. Dollop with yogurt. Cover with corn salsa. Squeeze extra lime juice on top if desired.

ZIPPY BREADED PORK CHOPS

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place salad dressing in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Dip pork chops in dressing, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere., Place on a rack in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

ZIPPY-ZOO MARINADE

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, barbecue sauce, oil, wine, peanut butter, corn syrup, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with black pepper, ginger, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. Marinate meat for 2 to 6 hours.

ZIPPY PORK CHOPS

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICE RUB

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, kosher salt, chili powder, onion powder and garlic powder.
• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silverskin. Pat the pork dry, and then rub the spice mixture all over the meat.
• Allow pork to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill.
• Preheat grill to medium heat and brush the grates with vegetable oil (to prevent sticking).
• Place pork on the grill. Close the grill and cook 15-18 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The meat is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees F. You can baste with the barbecue sauce during the final 1-2 minutes, or just serve warm barbecue sauce alongside the pork for dipping.
• Remove the tenderloin to a cutting board and allow the meat to rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

CAESAR PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Salt and pepper tenderloin.
• Combine mayonnaise, anchovy paste, lemon juice and garlic. On a plate, combine crushed crouton crumbs and parmesan cheese. Spread the mayonnaise mixture completely over the tenderloin and then roll in the crumb/cheese mixture to coat. Place on a flat baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tenderloin is medium well done (slightly pink in the center). Cut into 1/4 inch thick slices to serve.
• Note: You can use a knife to spread the mayonnaise mixture on the tenderloin but I always use my hands to get it all over the place. It's messy but it seems to pay off. This is what those disposable gloves are for.
• When I buy my pork tenderloin there are usually two in the package.
• You find the anchovy paste in a tube like toothpaste near the tuna in the grocery store.
• Put the croutons in a zip top plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. It keeps them together and works great. You can add the parmesan cheese to this and mix it together well before you put the mixture on the plate.

ORIENTAL ZIPPY PASTE

Steps:

• Peel Garlic bulbs and cloves. You can soak cloves in Hot water to make it easier to get the papery shell off.
• Peel Onions and cut each into 4 quarters.
• Use a food processor or blender. Place the cloves and the onions into the device, pulse to rough chop to your desired consistency. I like it chunkier, but you can even pulse until it is a puree.
• Heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onions, sauté' until golden brown.
• Add Balsamic Vinegar and Fish Sauce to the pan, stir well to deglaze the bits that might be stuck to your pan. Simmer for 4-5 minutes. When the mixture has reduce in volume, add the brown sugar and the chili garlic sauce. ( I tend to use a 1/2 cup of chili garlic sauce for mild heat, I will add more if I want it to be medium to hot spicy.) Stir mixture frequently as it cooks, to dissolve the sugar. The paste is done when it is shiny and jam like in consistency.
• You can store your paste in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
• See how I use the paste by looking at my other recopies with the term zippy in the title.
