Javanese Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• Brine: Dissolve the salt and brown sugar in the 1 cup of lukewarm water. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pineapple juice. (You could also use applejuice).
• Place pork in bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
• Drain pork, rinse well, pat dry. Discard brine and resealable bag. Put pork aside while making the marinade.
• Marinade: In a small, microwavable bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt peanut butter; mix thoroughly.
• Reserve 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of this peanut sauce to serve alongside the barbecued pork loin; refrigerate until ready to use.
• Pour remaining sauce into a new resealable plastic bag. Add the rinsed and dried pork loin. Make sure to squish the bag around to fully coat the pork.
• Refrigerate overnight. (I have let this sit up to 2 days - the longer you can let it marinate, the better it gets.).
• Preheat barbecue grill to medium high heat.
• Take pork out of the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
• Pour the marinade into small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil at least 3 minutes. If sauce gets too thick, thin with a little milk.
• Lightly oil grill grate, and arrange tenderloins on grill. When pork reaches 125 degrees F., baste with the boiled marinade. Watch pork carefully after basting so that it doesn't burn. Baste frequently and generously and use BBQ spatula to roll the pork around to cook evenly. Grill pork until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F. This should take about 15 minute or so. Pull the pork off the grill and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2" thick rounds.
• Warm the reserved sauce in the microwave, and place a dollop of the sauce on each plate. Place pork slices on top of sauce and serve.
• Serve with Udon noodles dressed with sesame seed oil and soy sauce.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except the tenderloins in a food processor and pulse several times to puree. Put the tenderloins in a large plastic storage bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the tenderloins and sear, turning to ensure even browning, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the oven and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Alternatively, heat a grill to medium-hot. Grill the tenderloins, turning several times, for 25 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 145 degrees F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
• In a large saute pan over high heat, add sesame oil and heat. Add the snow peas and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and toss well. Add the lemon juice and zest and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the soy, rice wine vinegar, chili sauce, ginger, garlic, scallions and orange zest. Place the pork in a large container or bowl and pour the marinade over the pork. Cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Remove the pork from the container, put the marinade in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and reserve it for drizzling over the pork when serving. *WARNING: This liquid MUST be brought to a boil to kill any bacteria from raw meat juices.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Dust the pork liberally with the ground coriander seed and place on the preheated grill. Brown it on all sides then move it to a cooler part of the grill to cook it to desired doneness, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the grill to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the pork on the bias and place on a serving platter. Serve drizzled with the reserved boiled soy marinade.
• Pork- the other white meat!

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from meat. Cut meat into 1 inch cubes. Combine nuts, onion, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, seasonings and oil. Add pork cubes; marinate for 10 minutes. Place pork on metal skewers; reserve marinade. Grill over coals, or broil for about 10 minutes on each side, brushing once on each side with the reserved marinade. Serve pork on skewers along with hot rice.
