Grilled Pork Ternderloin With Ginger Lime Vinaigrette Recipes

GRILLED PORK WITH LIME-GINGER MARINADE

Steps:

• Turn on broiler, if using.
• Squeeze lime juice into bowl large enough to hold the pork. Crush garlic, and add. Coarsely grate ginger; add with maple syrup, and mix well.
• Wash and trim fat from pork; and cut off the tail, and reserve. Cut the rest of the tenderloin into 1-inch-wide pieces; add them and the tail to marinade, turning to coat. Season with pepper.
• When ready to cook, prepare a stove-top grill, if using. Grill or broil the pork tenderloin, browning on both sides, for 5 to 7 minutes, until it is slightly pink inside. Baste with marinade.

GRILLED LIME-GINGER MARINATED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Preheat gas grill to medium heat.
• Into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, place pork loin first and then remaining ingredients. Seal bag, gently squeezing as much air out as possible. With your hands, toss and squeeze the bag until the pork loin is well-coated. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerated for NO MORE THAN two hours. The lime juice tenderizes the meat so well that if marinated any longer, it could cause the meat to break down too much.
• Grill pork loin for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when thickest part is pricked with a meat fork.
• Remove meat from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Slice on the bias and serve.

GRILLED GARLIC LIME PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• To make marinade:
• In a blender or small food processor blend marinade ingredients with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large sealable plastic bag combine pork with marinade. Seal bag, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking dish. Marinate pork, chilled, turning occasionally, at least 1 day and up to 2 days.
• Prepare grill.
• Let pork stand at room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling. Remove pork from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning every 5 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 160°F., 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer meat to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
• Serve pork with onion marmalade.
• To make the jalapeno onion marmelade:
• In a large heavy skillet cook onions in oil with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add jalapeños and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add honey or sugar and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add vinegar and simmer, stirring, until almost all liquid is evaporated. Add water and simmer, stirring, until mixture is slightly thickened and onions are very tender, about 10 minutes. Season marmalade with salt and pepper. Marmalade may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat marmalade before serving.
