Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Apricot Bbq Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the pork tenderloin: Mix the honey, balsamic vinegar, ancho chile and garlic together in a large resealable plastic bag. Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Place the tenderloin in the bag and squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• For the apricot-serrano salsa: In a bowl, combine the apricot, cilantro, lime juice, serrano and onion. Season the salsa with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• The key to grilling a pork tenderloin evenly is to roll it to each of its 4 sides while cooking. Grill the tenderloin on the first side for about 5 minutes (times vary per grill, so be careful not to over-char). Roll the tenderloin onto the next side and grill for another 5 minutes. Repeat on all 4 sides, 5 minutes per side, until an instant-read thermometer registers around 150 degrees F. Allow the tenderloin to rest on a platter for about 10 minutes before you slice it, to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve with the apricot-serrano salsa and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread butter all over the pork tenderloin. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Combine garlic powder, apricot preserves, honey, and sherry in a separate bowl.
• Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and brush with the apricot sauce. Return the pork to the oven. Continue roasting, basting occasionally with the remaining sauce, until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely crush coriander seeds and peppercorns. Place in a small dry saucepan and toast over medium heat, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add ginger, honey, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until bubbling rapidly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl (discard solids).
• Heat grill to high, with an indirect-heat zone. Season pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; brush with oil. Lightly brush grates with oil. Grill pork until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Move to indirect heat and cook, covered, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 138 degrees to 145 degrees for medium, 10 to 12 minutes more. Remove from grill and spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons glaze on top. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season scallions with salt and brush with oil; grill until lightly charred and tender, about 3 minutes. Generously brush apricots with oil; grill, cut-sides down, until marks appear and fruit can be turned without sticking, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until flesh is tender when pressed, about 2 minutes more. Slice pork and arrange on platter with scallions and apricots. Drizzle remaining glaze over apricots, scallions, and pork.
