Pork Tenderloin With Bourbon Peach Sauce And Cabbage Slaw Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Place the cabbage on a baking sheet, leaving room for the pork. Brush the cabbage all over with the melted butter; season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub the pork with salt, pepper and the coriander. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned all over, 8 minutes (reduce the heat if the pork is getting too dark). Transfer the pork to the baking sheet with the cabbage; reserve the skillet. Roast the pork and cabbage together until a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 145˚, 13 to 15 minutes; transfer to a cutting board. Continue roasting the cabbage until browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika and stir until toasted, 30 seconds. Stir in the vinegar and sugar, then pour in 1/3 cup water, scraping up the bottom of the skillet. Cook until a thin sauce forms, 1 to 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the pork and divide among plates along with the cabbage. Spoon the bell pepper mixture over the pork; top with the parsley.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACH BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• For sauce:
• Sauté chopped bacon and chile de àrbol in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until bacon is crisp. Add chopped onion and garlic cloves; sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce and crushed peppercorns; stir 1 minute. Add peaches and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add orange juice, ketchup, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, and hot pepper sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon thickly, stirring sauce often, about 30 minutes.
• Strain sauce into medium bowl, pressing enough liquid and solids through strainer to yield 2 cups sauce; discard solids in strainer. Season sauce to taste with salt and more lemon juice, if desired. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• For pork:
• Brush pork tenderloins with olive oil to coat. Arrange pork on rimmed baking sheet. Mix coarsely ground black pepper, kosher salt, and garlic powder in small bowl to blend. Sprinkle seasoning mixture all over pork. (Tenderloins can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to small bowl to use for basting. Pour remaining sauce into small saucepan. Grill pork tenderloins until brown and meat thermometer inserted into center registers 140°F, turning occasionally with tongs, about 18 minutes. Brush pork all over with some of basting sauce. Grill pork until glazed, turning and brushing with more basting sauce, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer pork to work surface; let rest 10 minutes.
• Rewarm sauce in pan. Cut pork crosswise on slight diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange pork slices on platter. Drizzle pork with some warm peach barbecue sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
