Shichimi Togarashi Grilled Pork Tenderloin Recipes

SHICHIMI-SEARED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Meanwhile, mix the white and black sesame seeds together with the togarashi powder; set aside. Season the tenderloins with salt, then press into sesame mixture until completely coated. Sear the tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
• Transfer the tenderloins to a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes. When done, remove pork, and allow to rest for five minutes in a warm place.
• While pork is roasting, prepare sauce by simmering the shallots, ginger, lime juice, and wine in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it has reduced to about 2 tablespoons of liquid. Add the cream, and continue to simmer until it has reduced by half. Pour mixture into a blender, along with soy sauce and miso. Blend on low speed for 10 seconds until pureed, then slowly add butter, a few cubes at a time with blender running until it is incorporated. Season to taste with salt, and keep in a warm place until ready to use.
• To serve, slice the tenderloin into medallions, and pour warm sauce overtop; serve immediately.

ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CHARRED CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Brush the pork tenderloins with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until well-marked on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, lightly dress the scallions with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred and wilted, flipping as needed. Chop the scallions really well and add to a bowl with the remaining olive oil. Fold in the sherry vinegar, chives, parsley, shallots and garlic. Set aside.
• Transfer the pork to a baking sheet and brush with the mustard. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F for medium (to carry over to 145 degrees F), about 20 minutes. Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Serve the chimichurri on the side or on top of the sliced pork

JAPANESE GINGER PORK

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ginger, soy sauce, sake and mirin. Add the sliced pork, cover, and marinate for about 1 hour.
• Heat the oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add the pork, and fry until brown. The pork should have a dark crispy look to it. Do not cook on low or medium heat, as the juices will not cook fast enough to get a crispy texture. Discard leftover marinade.

SHICHIMI TOGARASHI

Steps:

• Spread the ginger and mandarin zest in a dehydrator and dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for 3 to 4 hours, until the ginger becomes completely dried and snaps when bent. (You can also dehydrate them in the lowest setting of your oven.) Process the ginger and mandarin zest into a spice grinder until finely ground. You should have about 2 tsp. ginger powder and 1 tsp. mandarin peel powder. (If you have more of either, save it to spice your tea.) Sift the powders through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any fibers. Transfer both to the same small bowl and set aside.
• Next, process the chiles and sansho peppercorns separately. Put the ingredient in the spice grinder and grind into a powder. Sift the powder through a fine-mesh strainer. You should have 1 Tbsp. of chile powder and ½ tsp. of sansho pepper powder. (If you have more of either, save it to spice your noodle soup.) Add both to the bowl.
• Last, put the torn pieces of nori in the spice grinder and grind for 3-4 seconds, being careful not to overprocess it (you want flakes, not powder); add it to the bowl. Add the hemp seeds, poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, and salt (if using). Store in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid in the pantry. Use within a couple of months for best flavor.
