Nifs Broiled Guinness Pork Tenderloin Recipes

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

NIF'S BROILED GUINNESS PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a resealable bag and seal. Massage meat to ensure even distribution of marinade. Remove all air from the bag so all the meat is covered and you won't have to rotate the meat. An easy way to do this is to fill your sink with water, submerge the open bag in as far as you can without water getting into it. That will push all of the air out. Seal.
• Marinate in fridge for 2-6 hours.
• Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and turn on broiler. Remove pork from the bag and let drip dry. Discard marinade. Set tenderloins on a baking sheet (I put them on nonstick tin foil) and put in oven. Cook for 6 minutes on each side. Turn oven off and let pork continue cooking until it registers 150°F Meat should be slightly pink in the middle. It should reach 160F by the end of rest time.
• Remove from oven, cover with tin foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice tenderloin into 1/2" to 1" medallions.
