CAESAR PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Salt and pepper tenderloin.
• Combine mayonnaise, anchovy paste, lemon juice and garlic. On a plate, combine crushed crouton crumbs and parmesan cheese. Spread the mayonnaise mixture completely over the tenderloin and then roll in the crumb/cheese mixture to coat. Place on a flat baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tenderloin is medium well done (slightly pink in the center). Cut into 1/4 inch thick slices to serve.
• Note: You can use a knife to spread the mayonnaise mixture on the tenderloin but I always use my hands to get it all over the place. It's messy but it seems to pay off. This is what those disposable gloves are for.
• When I buy my pork tenderloin there are usually two in the package.
• You find the anchovy paste in a tube like toothpaste near the tuna in the grocery store.
• Put the croutons in a zip top plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. It keeps them together and works great. You can add the parmesan cheese to this and mix it together well before you put the mixture on the plate.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin.
• Place the lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and garlic powder in a small, lidded jar and shake to combine. Pour half of the marinade mixture into a 1-gallon resealable bag, add the chipotle pepper, and move around to combine. Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible and place in a container to catch any leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, rotating the bag halfway through the time. Place the remaining marinade in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the tenderloin from the bag and allow to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill. Remove the reserved marinade from the refrigerator.
• Fill a large chimney starter with natural lump charcoal and light. Once the charcoal is ashy and white, approximately 30 minutes, dump the hot charcoal onto the lowest grate of the grill and spread into an even layer using extra-long tongs. Place the cooking grate back on the grill and cover with the lid; heat the grate to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place in the center of grate. Discard bag with marinade. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloin from the grill and place on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil folded at the edges to create a basket, and pour on the reserved marinade. Wrap tightly and rest for 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot grill or preheat the broiler. If using the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• While the grill or broiler is heating up, place the pork and 1/2 cup of the Caesar dressing in a shallow dish and turn to coat. Let marinate for 20 minutes, or until the grill or broiler is ready.
• Place the pork on the grill or, if broiling, place on the prepared baking sheet. Grill or broil, 4 inches from the heat, basting with the marinade after 5 minutes. Cook, turning once, for about 20 minutes total, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 150°F. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Discard any remaining marinade.
• In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and the remaining 1/2 cup Caesar dressing.
• Divide the salad among four large shallow bowls. Cut the pork tenderloins into slices 1/2 inch thick and serve on top of the salad.
