Pork Tenderloin Foil Packet Recipes

QUICK AND EASY PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FOIL PACKET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Prepare pork according to package directions for grilling.
• Cut potatoes into slices. Season slices with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt and pepper.
• Place about a quarter of the potato slices onto a square of foil. Top potatoes with 1/2 T butter and desired amount of cheese if using cheese. Fold foil over potatoes. Now place that foil square onto another foil square and wrap tightly, folding up the edges, to create a sealed packet. Repeat with remaining potatoes. You should get 4 packets total out of 2 large potatoes.
• Turn one half of the grill down to a medium/low setting and place the potatoes on that half of the grill.
• Flip potato packet over after about 15 minutes and then cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.
• Take extreme caution when opening packets, steam from inside the packets will release and will be hot. I prefer to use tongs to open.
• Serve potatoes alongside sliced pork.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN FOIL PACKET

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium heat.
• In a mixing bowl combine the chopped potatoes with the olive oil, garlic herbs, parmesan, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and completely covered.
• Grab a large section of aluminum foil and spray well with cooking spray.
• Lay the Smithfield® Golden Rotisserie Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin in the center of the foil and line the potatoes along each side.
• Carefully fold up the foil on each side and create a packet.
• Place the packet seam side up on the grill and cook for 30 minutes.
• Remove from grill and very carefully open (the steam will be hot! I use tongs) and check to make sure your pork has reached a 160 degrees F internal temp.
• Garnish with additional herbs and parmesan if desired.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve drippings in the skillet.
• Dry pork tenderloin with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
• Increase heat to medium-high and brown tenderloin in the bacon drippings on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Removed browned tenderloin from skillet, transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add onion slices to the same skillet and stir until onions are soft and beginning to take on some color, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add sliced peaches, chicken broth, orange juice concentrate, and remaining ground ginger. Bring to a boil and return tenderloin to the skillet. Pile peaches on top of the meat, cover, reduce heat to simmer, and cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Arrange pork and peaches on a serving platter.
• Meanwhile, combine fish sauce, water, and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir until there are no lumps. Increase heat to medium and bring skillet contents back to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture to the liquid in the skillet and stir quickly until sauce is bubbly and thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over pork and peaches. Crumble up cooked bacon and sprinkle over the peaches. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
