ROBYN'S DRUNKEN PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Remove the pork tenderloin from the package and trim off any silver skin - this is a shiny fat type piece that may (or may not) be on part of the tenderloin. Honestly though if you don't take it off now it is not a big deal, you can cut it off the cooked pork as you are eating it if you need to. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt and pepper (to lightly cover) over all sides of each piece of pork. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the pork tenderloins. Let the pork sit without moving for about 3 minutes. Before that it will seem like they are "stuck" to the pan, but after 3 minutes or so the pork tenderloin pieces should release. Rotate the pork tenderloins so that you get each of the outside surfaces browned nicely. Remove the browned pork tenderloin from pan and place in a rectangular baking dish. Now add the onions to the same pan you used to brown the pork tenderloin and saute them for about 5 minutes. Then carefully add about 1/4 bottle of the wine to deglaze the pan. It will steam up a lot and you need to take a wooden spoon and scrape the bottom of the pan right away to loosen up all of those nice browned bits - they are full of pork flavor! Once you have the bits scraped up, add the rest of the bottle of wine and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 3 minutes. Pour the onion and wine mixture over the browned pork tenderloin in the baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes. Use your meat thermometer to make sure the pork is at 145° in the thickest part. Remove from the oven and place the pork tenderloins on cutting board to rest. Pour the liquid from the baking dish into your skillet on high heat and whisk in one package of brown gravy mix. Cook on medium for about 3 minutes to thicken and reduce. Slice your roasted pork tenderloin, after it has rested for about 10 minutes, into about 1/4" thick slices and serve with the onions and top with the red wine gravy.

DRUNKEN PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Marinate pork loin in wine, garlic and herbs overnight.
• Place pork in a a large covered roasting pan (I used a three quart casserole, but if you want to add a few extra veggies, you may want to go bigger.
• Arrange vegetables around the roast.
• Pour the marinade over roast and vegetables.
• Cover and bake at 350°F for 1 1/2- 2 hours.
• Remove cover and continue baking for another 1/2 hour.

DRUNKEN PORK ROAST AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Rub Italian seasoning all over the pork roast (be generous) and set aside.
• In a Dutch oven casserole dish, heat olive oil and bacon grease on medium high.
• Add pork roast and sear on all sides (about 1 or 2 minutes per side).
• Add the onion and garlic on the last turn.
• Remove from heat; add wine; cover and bake for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove roast from pot and place on cutting board.
• Cover with foil (allowing meat to 'set') and begin making the gravy.
• Place the Dutch oven containing the baked juices (wine sauce) on top of the stove over medium heat.
• In a small bowl, mix the milk and flour until smooth.
• Add the flour mixture to the juices; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Whisk or stir constantly until you get gravy consistency (about 10 minutes). If gravy becomes too thick, simply add more milk, a little at a time.
• Slice pork and serve with the gravy.

DRUNKEN RIBS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix garlic powder, white pepper, seasoned salt, onion salt, and oregano.
• Place ribs in a large roasting pan, and rub evenly with the garlic powder mixture to coat. Pour distilled white vinegar and 1/2 the beer, or enough to cover ribs, into the pan. Cover pan, and marinate ribs in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect, medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• In a large saucepan, whisk together remaining beer, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, liquid smoke, margarine, apple cider vinegar, and honey mustard. Bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes, or until a thick sauce has formed.
• Remove ribs from the marinade mixture, and coat liberally with the sauce. Place on the prepared grill, and cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Brush frequently with the sauce while cooking.

PORK DRUNKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in boiling water for 10 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
• Heat half the oil in a wok or frying pan and fry the garlic and chiles over a medium-high heat for 1 minute, then add the baby corn and bok choy and fry for 3 to 4 minutes more until just tender. Scoop out and set aside.
• Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the pork over a high heat until golden. Return the baby corn and bok choy to the pan with the drained noodles, add the oyster, fish and soy sauces and sugar and stir-fry vigorously to combine. Fry until the sauce coats everything and thickens slightly. Serve with a scattering of Thai basil.

"DRUNKEN" PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; sauté until brown and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.Transfer pork to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add onion and fennel seeds to same skillet and sauté until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in paprika; stir 15 seconds. Add wine, broth and lemon juice and boil until sauce thickens slightly, scraping up browned bits, about 5 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over pork chops and serve.
