PORK TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH ROASTED TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 5-to-6-inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Toss the garlic, tomatoes and scallions on the baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil until coated and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until the vegetables are charred, flipping them once, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Slice the pork tenderloin on the bias into 4 long "steaks" and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Put the pork steaks in the skillet and cook, flipping once, until well browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Put each steak on a plate to rest.
• While the pork rests, core the tomatoes, squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and chop them both with the scallions to make a chunky relish. Transfer the vegetables and all their juices to a bowl and stir in the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 1?4 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the relish over the pork with crusty bread for soaking up the juices.

COCOA-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CHOCOLATE TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the onion is tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder. Add the broth, rosemary, vinegar and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.
• For the pork: Whisk the cocoa powder, allspice, dark brown sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl to blend.
• Place the pork on a heavy nonstick baking sheet. Rub the allspice mixture over the pork. Drizzle with olive oil and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and let rest 10 minutes.
• Cut the pork crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the pork and serve.

GRILLED SPICE-RUBBED PORK WITH TOMATO GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows: Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds Low: 5 to 6 seconds
• If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.
• Meanwhile, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, cinnamon, and salt in a large shallow bowl. Pat pork dry and add to spiced oil in bowl, turning to coat.
• Grill tenderloins on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally, until thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into thickest end of meat registers 150°F, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, then tent loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. (Internal temperature will rise to 160°F while pork stands.)
• Cook garlic in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juices, remaining 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin, cinnamon, and salt, then briskly simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Slice pork and serve with sauce.
