ORANGE-CHIPOTLE GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place honey, chipotle peppers, chipotle sauce, sriracha and soy sauce together in a food processor and blend until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, finely mince chipotle peppers and whisk with other ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• Mix together flour, salt and pepper. Pat tenderloin dry with paper towels. Dredge in the flour mixture and dust off excess.
• Heat oil in pan and add tenderloin. Brown on all sides until a nice brown crust forms on each side.
• Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and place a rack on top of the tray. Place the tenderloin on top of the rack.
• Drain off excess oil from pan and add the honey mixture. Cook for 2 minutes until reduced and thickened.
• Brush tenderloin all over with the sauce and bake for 10 minutes.
• Brush the pork all over again with the sauce and place it back into the oven for 8 minutes.
• Brush the pork again and cook for another 5-10 minutes until pork is cooked. You can use a thermometer and it should register 135-140 degrees at the thickest part (the middle). If you don't have a thermometer, cut a slit in the middle and check to see if it is still red. If it is barely pink, you can take it out.
• Brush again with the glaze and let sit for 10 minutes.
• You can find canned chipotle chilles in adobo sauce in the hispanic section of most grocery stores.

CHIPOTLE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth. Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag. Turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• NOTE: you can use the same marinade for a 1 pound tenderloin, however, the cooking time will be longer.

GRILLED CHIPOTLE TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Whisk cilantro, chiles, garlic, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and cumin together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloins, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
• Remove tenderloins from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade and bring pork to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill tenderloins on the preheated grill until slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
