PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GARLIC-ORANGE VINAIGRETTE AND SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium; season pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet, and cook, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 145 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes (reduce heat if pork browns too quickly). Transfer pork to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest 5 to 10 minutes (reserve skillet).
• Meanwhile, in a blender, combine orange juice, mustard, honey, garlic, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, and blend until smooth; set vinaigrette aside.
• In reserved skillet (if bottom of skillet is blackened, use a new one), heat remaining tablespoon oil over high. Add as much spinach as will fit; toss until wilted, adding more spinach as there is room, 3 to 5 minutes total. Drain off excess liquid, and season spinach with salt and pepper. Slice pork and drizzle with vinaigrette; serve with spinach.

ASIAN MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, scallions, and orange zest. Add the pork to the bowl and turn to coat with the marinade. Let the chops sit in the marinade for a few minutes.
• Coat a large saute pan with oil and bring to a high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade. Sear the chops 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pork from the pan.
• Ditch the excess oil from the pan. Place the saute pan on the hottest burner. Add the marinade to the pan-it should come to a boil instantly. WARNING: This liquid MUST be brought to a boil to kill any bacteria from the raw meat juices.
• Turn off the heat. Place 2 chops on a plate, spoon a few drops of the marinade over top, and serve with Sugar Snap Peas and Spinach with Ginger.
• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the snap peas in the boiling water until they are cooked but still crunchy, and then immediately plunge them into the salted ice water. Remove them from the ice water and reserve.
• Coat a large saute pan with oil. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallions and cook over medium-high heat until the scallions are soft and translucent.
• Add the sugar snap peas and toss to coat in the oil. Add the spinach and toss with the peas until the spinach starts to wilt. Remove from the heat, season with salt. Toss or stir the spinach to finish wilting and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Snappy!

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ORANGE

Steps:

• Trim each tenderloin to remove excess fat. Cut each tenderloin into 4 equal rounds.
• With a mallet or meat pounder, pound each pork round to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the pieces of pork in one layer, heat the oil over medium high heat. Saute pork for about 2 minutes on each side. Do not overcook. Remove from the pan and keep warm on a platter.
• In the same skillet, add the onions and cook until wilted. Drain the fat and add the port and wine. Bring to a boil. Stir and scrape to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth and the tomato paste. Stir to blend; reduce by half.
• Add the orange sections and zests, bring to a simmer and swirl in the butter. Add any juices that may have accumulated around the pork slices. Blend well. Pour the sauce over the pork and serve hot.

SAGE-AND-GARLIC-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together garlic, sage, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over pork.
• Heat a large, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil. Add pork, and brown all over, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven. Roast pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 145 degrees to 150 degrees, about 20 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board; tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
