Jalapeno Honey Pork Tenderloin Recipes

JALAPENO-HONEY PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Place pork in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
• For marinade, in a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, the chopped jalapeno peppers, the ginger, and crushed red pepper.
• Pour marinade over pork. Seal bag; turn to coat pork. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 425 degree F.
• Drain pork, reserving marinade. Place pork on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast in oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until juices run clear (160 degree F), brushing once with reserved marinade after 10 minutes of roasting.
• Discard any remaining marinade. Remove and cover with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

PEPPER-HONEY PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a heavy duty bag, seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, turning occasionally.
• Coat a broiler pan rack with non-stick cooking spray and place the tenderloins on it, discarding the marinade.
• Broil the tenderloins 5" from heat for 5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees (if using an electric oven, the door should be left partially open during cooking).
• Slice the tenderloins and serve garnished with additional fresh jalapeno peppers if desired.

JALAPENO POPPER PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Mix chile powder, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cut a pocket lengthwise down the middle of the pork tenderloin. Apply the spice mixture all over the tenderloin.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a roasting pan.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook jalapenos, flipping occasionally, until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cumin. Let cool until easily handled; chop.
• Spread cream cheese inside the pork tenderloin. Add chopped jalapenos. Wrap bacon slices around the tenderloin in a spiral. Secure with kitchen twine. Make sure to tie up tightly to close the pocket.
• Transfer the tenderloin to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, rotating continuously, until golden, about 30 seconds on each side. Place the tenderloin in the prepared roasting pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine and slice, topping with any of the stuffing that may have overflowed in the pan.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH JALAPENO PASTE

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Lightly oil grill rack. In a blender, process 1/4 cup canola oil, garlic, jalapeno, thyme, salt, coriander, pepper, and cumin until smooth, about 1 minute. Spread paste over tenderloins.
• Grill tenderloins, turning them occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from grill; let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

HONEY GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and balsamic vinegar.
• Place the pork tenderloins in a roasting pan, and roast 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
• Remove pork from oven, and baste with the honey sauce. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue roasting pork 45 minutes, basting occasionally with the honey sauce, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
