Spicedporkloinsteakswithprunes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in skillet. Add the salt pork and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove the salt pork and set aside. Add in the onion and shallot and cook until translucent. Add in the garlic, ginger, and ancho powder and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add in the beer, cook 5 minutes. Add in all other ingredients except 1 cup of chicken broth. Simmer for 15 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick, thin with the reserved chicken broth. Crumble the salt pork into the sauce. Set aside and wait for pork to grill. Season pork steaks with salt, pepper. Place on a medium-high grill and sear, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove the steaks and dip in homemade BBQ sauce. Place back on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes, turning and basting to let the sauce caramelize on the pork steaks. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve with Yukon Gold Frites and Grilled Chayote and Tomatoes.
• Yukon Gold Frites: Thinly slice potatoes lengthwise to form a traditional thin chip. Toss into a hot pot of good frying oil (canola or peanut). Fry until partially cooked. Remove from oil and let drain on a paper-towel covered plate. Sprinkle with a homemade Texas-style dry rub spice (sea salt, white pepper, celery salt, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, lemon zest, cayenne pepper and dry mustard). Toss chips on a hot grill and cook through until brown, crispy, with nice grill marks. Serve with Chipotle Aioli to dip.
• Grilled Chayote: Slice 1 to 2 chayote lengthwise like the potatoes. Brush each side with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Cook on a medium-high grill turning frequently to make crisscross marks on both sides. When fork-tender, remove from grill and season again.
• Grilled Roma Tomatoes: Slice 2 Roma tomatoes in half; core the center to remove seeds and to make a pocket. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush with olive oil. Fill pockets with pesto, about 2 tablespoons each, and sprinkle on some grated Parmesan. Grill tomatoes until tender but not falling apart, about 5 minutes if grill is very hot. Sprinkle with a bit more grated Parmesan, and serve.
• Whisk all ingredients together.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Put the pork on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the peanut oil and rub all over with the five-spice powder. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Broil, flipping once, until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers about 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, ginger, mirin, soy sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Whisk in the sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the pork, drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve with the rice and broccoli.

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Mix seasoning in a small bowl and rub into pork steaks and let them rest for 10 minutes.
• Bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.
• Remove from oven and cover with barbecue sauce.
• Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Put a large pan of water on to boil. Pour 75g hoisin sauce into a shallow dish, add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and leave to sit at room temperature. Meanwhile, make the slaw. In a large bowl, mix the vinegar with the soy. Add the cabbage, carrot and cucumber, and toss together.
• Tip the rice into the pan of boiling water and cook following pack instructions. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan large enough to fit the steaks. Cook over a medium-high heat for 2-3 mins on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. Lift the steaks out of the pan onto a warm plate and cover with foil. If the cooking juices have burnt, wipe the pan out first, otherwise add the remaining hoisin straight to the frying pan with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 100ml water and bubble gently.
• Drain the rice, divide between six plates and put the steaks on top. Spoon the extra hoisin sauce over the steaks so it soaks into the rice below, then scatter over the spring onions. Tear the mint leaves and stir them into the slaw, then serve alongside the steaks.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet, and mix in the soy sauce. Saute the green onions and garlic until lightly browned.
• Place the pork steaks in the skillet, cover, and cook 8 to 10 minutes on each side, Remove cover, and continue cooking 10 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a small bowl, pour the wine over the prunes and let soak for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Trim the silver skin off the tenderloins. Cut the tenderloins into rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Season the rounds on both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a sauté pan just large enough to hold the rounds, heat the olive oil over high heat. When it smokes, add the pork rounds and brown, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they feel firm to the touch. If they start to get too brown, turn down the heat. Transfer the pork rounds to a warmed platter and set aside in a warm spot. Pour the fat out of the pan.
• Drain the prunes, reserving the wine and prunes separately. Measure out 1/2 cup of the wine. Return the pan to high heat and add the 1/2 cup wine and the prunes. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, then stir in the meat glaze, if using. Boil until the wine is reduced by about half; if you have added the glaze, the sauce will develop a lightly syrupy consistency. Add the cream and boil until reduced to a light sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork rounds on warmed plates and spoon the sauce and prunes over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-low heat.
• Season the pork steaks on both sides with seasoned salt and seasoned pepper. In a large bowl, stir together the vinegar and water, and season with seasoned salt and seasoned pepper to taste.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place pork steaks on the grill. Baste steaks with the vinegar mixture on both sides during the first 15 minutes of grilling. Continue to cook steaks to desired doneness, 10 to 15 more minutes. Discard remaining vinegar mixture.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, salt, ginger, thyme, and black pepper. Rub spice mix into pork tenderloins. Place meat in a baking dish, cover, and refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• Brush oil onto grill grate, and arrange meat on grill. Cook for 30 minutes, or to desired doneness, turning to cook evenly.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325*F.
• Peel and thinly slice the onions.
• Dip the meat in the seasoned flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a roomy frying pan, add the pork steaks and brown each one on both sides.
• Transfer to a large casserole.
• Add theonions to the hot oil and stir to soften over a moderate heat.
• Add the sugar and stir until the onions caramelize.
• Stir in the spices, vinegar and 2 TBS cold water.
• Simmer until the onions are syrupy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour the caramelized onions over the pork.
• Add the bay leaves, prunes and stock.
• Cover with the casserole lid.
• Set in the heated oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
• Season with salt and freshly milled pepper to taste before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Soak prunes in wine, if you wish, for as long as possible. Drain prunes, reserving wine. With a long sharp knife, make a slit in the center of the loin and stuff it with prunes (reserve prunes that won't fit into pork).
• In a large casserole heat butter. When foaming subsides add the onion or leek, celery and carrot. Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Remove them with a slotted spoon and reserve for later. Add vegetable oil to the casserole and heat. When hot, add the loin and brown on all sides, including the ends. When pork is browned, remove it to a plate. Discard all fat from the casserole, but leave behind any drippings. Return cooked vegetables to the bottom of the casserole. Add the meat on top and add any prunes which didn't fit into the loin.
• Cover loin with reserved white wine you soaked the prunes in, broth, bay leaf and garlic. Put a lid on casserole and set in oven. Cook for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours or until pork juices run a clear yellow (difference in time depends on how thick the loin is; internal temp is 165 degrees). Remove casserole from oven and remove the pork and let rest while you make the sauce. Strain the juices into a "degreasing" cup or heat-resistant cup. Discard aromatic vegetables and prunes. The fat will rise above the juices; discard it. Return juices to casserole and boil down until thickened. Finish with a tablespoon of butter or not as you wish. Slice pork into thin slices, serve with saffron rice, sugar snap peas and spoon sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Combine the first eight ingredients; rub over entire roast. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Place roast on a greased rack in a roasting pan. , Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Combine all dry rub ingredients together and rub meat the night before braising. Refrigerate, covered in plastic wrap, until the next day.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F Heat the oil over high heat in a heavy casserole or Dutch oven just large enough to hold the pork. Brown the pork on all sides, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove and set aside. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pot and add the pearl onions, leeks, and carrots. Lower the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the port, stock and honey and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the prunes, the optional brandy, and the bay leaves and bring to a boil. Put the pork back in and spoon some of the prunes and vegetables over the top. Cover the pot with foil and fit the lid on tightly.
• Place the pot in the middle of the oven and cook for about 1-1/2 hours, or until the pork is quite tender and registers 160° to 165°F on an instant-read meat thermometer. Remove the pork from the pot and cover loosely to keep warm. The final temperature of the meat after resting for 10 minutes or so may read 170° to 175°F.
• Skim off any fat from the cooking juices. Remove 6 of the prunes and puree them in a food processor or blender. Stir the puree back into the sauce to thicken it. Remove the bay leaves and taste the sauce for salt and pepper. Remove the strings from the pork if necessary, and carve into 1/2-inch slices. Serve with the sauce and prunes and vegetables.

Steps:

• Place pork slices in a flat dish. Combine salt, pepper, cumin and paprika, and sprinkle the slices with this mixture on both sides.
• Heat oil in a skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When oil is quite hot, add meat and cook over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until browned. Turn the slices and cook about 5 more minutes. Reduce heat and continue cooking about 2 minutes more, turning the slices.
• Transfer slices to a warm platter and keep warm.
• Pour off the fat from skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until onion is wilted and lightly browned. Add wine, vinegar, chicken broth, prunes and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add any juices that have accumulated around the meat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 1 1/4 cups. Add the butter and blend well. Pour the sauce over the medallions and serve hot.

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients together.
• Season the pork steaks with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spread each lightly with the sauce mixture.
• Place in baking dish and top each pork steak with a slice of onion, tomato and green pepper.
• Seal well in aluminum foil, leaving room for expansion of steam. Bake 1 hour at 350°F.
• Transfer to serving platter and serve hot.

Steps:

• Place the roast on its side and split in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Make shallow slashes in a diamond pattern on both sides of each piece. Transfer halves to a flat dish.
• Whisk rice vinegar, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, salt, pepper, and Chinese 5-spice powder together in a bowl. Pour sauce over the meat; turn each piece over several times to thoroughly coat. Let meat marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature. (Or transfer to a zip top bag and refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours.)
• Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Brown meat on each side, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Transfer to a plate to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Simmer the prunes in one cup wine plus water to cover for 20 minutes, covered. Cool.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Season the pork loin with salt and pepper. Stuff the prunes, thyme and garlic into the pork (you do not need to untie the roast, simply push the prunes inside the openings). Roast the pork on a rack in a covered roasting pan for about two-and-a-half hours, or until the meat is tender. Any leftover prunes can be placed in the bottom of the roasting pan after the meat has cooked for an hour.
• Remove the meat from the pan to a serving dish. Transfer the cooking juices and any loose prunes to a small saucepan. Skim off the excess fat and add the remaining wine and chicken stock. Bring to boil, season to taste and serve in a heated sauceboat.

Steps:

• Combine the first five ingredients; rub over tenderloins. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. , Grill, covered over medium-hot indirect heat for 25-40 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 5-quart pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl and reserve pot.
• Simmer prunes and Armagnac in a 1- to 2-quart saucepan 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Make a hole for stuffing: Insert a long thin sharp knife into middle of one end toward center of loin, then repeat at opposite end to make an incision that runs lengthwise through roast. Enlarge incision with your fingers, working from both ends, to create a 3/4-inch-wide opening.
• Pack about 20 prunes into pork, pushing from both ends toward center (reserve remaining Armagnac and prunes). Pat pork dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Wrap parsley, thyme, sage, bay leaf, peppercorns, and cloves in cheesecloth and tie into a bundle with kitchen string.
