Bbq Pork Tenderloin Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with olive oil. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes; let cool slightly, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a medium bowl and gently toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Meanwhile, toss the cucumbers, pineapple, scallion, cilantro and vinegar in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Mix the brown sugar, chile powder, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a separate bowl. Rub the pork all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the spice mixture.
• Grill the pork, covered, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the sweet potatoes, turning once, until marked, about 3 minutes. Slice the pork and top with the cucumber-pineapple salsa. Serve with the sweet potatoes.

GRILLED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Place the whole potatoes in a large pot of cold water. Add 2 tablespoons salt, then bring to a gentle boil. Let boil until the potatoes are tender, but still quite firm, about 10 to 15 minutes. You should be able to pierce them with a fork somewhat easily, but the potatoes should still be too firm too eat. Drain and let cool slightly. Heat the grill to medium (about 400 degrees F).
• Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4 to 6 wedges, depending on the size. Each wedge should be about 1/3 inch thick. As you slice the potatoes, peel off their skins (they should come off easily). Place the wedges in a bowl, then drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with brown sugar, chipotle chile pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat.
• Grill the sweet potato fries on each side until they're lightly golden brown, have some grill marks (depending upon your preference) and are tender, about 6 minutes total. Remove to a serving platter. Enjoy hot, sprinkled with cilantro as desired.
