Crusted Buffalo Tenderloin With Chipolte Onions Recipes

BOURBON POTTED CHILI ONIONS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large casserole over low heat. Add the onions, add the salt and pepper and stir to coat well. Cook very slowly over slow heat until the onions are soft and translucent. In rapid succession add the chili powder and stir to incorporate fully. Stir in the tomato paste and sugar and moisten with the vinegar. Continue to cook over low heat. As the liquids begin to bubble, be careful not to burn the tomato and sugar. Nothing should caramelize in this dish. Add the bourbon carefully, allowing the alcohol to burn off. Add the broth and braise, with a lid on, until the onions are nearly dry.
• May be served hot or cold.

PHYLLO CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Take the pork tenderloin and cut it in half crosswise. Each piece should be about 8 ounces. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and Szechwan pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of lard in a saute pan. Sear the pork tenderloins in the hot lard, browning all sides. Place pork on a plate and let cool. In the same saute pan, saute the mushrooms, adding the remaining 1-tablespoon of lard if necessary. Cook until the mushrooms are brown and all the moisture is gone. Season with salt, pepper and Creole mustard. Let cool. Melt unsalted butter. With pastry brush, brush butter on each sheet of dough and layer the phyllo, one sheet on top of the other. Cut the buttered phyllo stack in half lengthwise. Place four tablespoons of mushroom mix on phyllo dough, spread into a layer. Turn the dough so it looks like a diamond. Place the tenderloin onto the mushroom mixture where the edges of the loin are about 1/2 inch from the edge of the phyllo. Fold the nearest corner of phyllo over the loin, and then bring up the corners on the sides of the loin, towards the center of the loin. Roll the loin away, wrapping up the whole loin. Roast in a preheated 450-degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes.

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).
