BBQ Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

2-3 pork tenderloins  

2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch  

1 green_onion, finely chopped   

1 tsp salt 

Marinade: 1/2 cup (125 mL) orange juice  

1/4 cup (50 mL) tomato paste  

2 tbsp (25 mL) grainy mustard  

3 cloves garlic, minced 

4 tsp (20 mL) chili_powder 

1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) sugar  

1 tsp (5 mL) each ground cumin and coriander  

1/2 tsp (2 mL) Worcestershire sauce  

1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt

Preparation:

Marinade: In bowl, whisk together orange juice, tomato paste, mustard, garlic, chili powder, sugar, cumin, coriander, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Add pork, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Remove pork from marinade, letting excess drip back into bowl. Pour marinade into small saucepan; set aside.

Place pork on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning 3 times, until browned and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring reserved marinade and 3/4 cup (175 mL) water to boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1 cup (250 mL), 7 minutes.

In small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water; whisk into marinade. Simmer until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute. Keep warm.

Transfer pork to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain. Sprinkle with onion and coriander. Serve with sauce.

Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Chipotle Sauce

Pork:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed
2 teaspoons olive oil

Sauce:
1 (7-ounce) can chipotle chiles, canned in adobo sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup (I use sugar free)
3 tablespoons fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Preparation
1. To prepare pork, combine first 6 ingredients; sprinkle evenly over pork. Place in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and refrigerate 3 hours.

2. Preheat oven to 375°.

3. Remove pork from bag. Place pork in a roasting pan; drizzle with oil. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in center of pork registers 155°. Remove pork from pan; cover and let stand 10 minutes.

4. To prepare sauce, remove 2 teaspoons adobo sauce from can of chiles; reserve remaining chiles and sauce for another use. Add 2 teaspoons adobo sauce, syrup, broth, and vinegar to roasting pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Place pork in pan, turning to coat. Remove pork from pan, reserving sauce in pan. Cut pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Strain sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl; serve with pork.
