Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Watermelon Bulgur Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare grill for indirect heat.
• Season meat with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Lightly oil grate. Place tenderloin on grate, and position drip pan under meat. Cook over indirect heat for 30 minutes.
• Brush tenderloin with barbeque sauce. Continue cooking for 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow pork to rest for 10 minutes. Slice pork, and serve with additional barbeque sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• For the salsa: Combine all ingredients in medium mixing bowl and chill until ready to serve.
• For the tenderloin: Use a sharp knife to trim tenderloin of any fat by removing as much of the silver skin as possible.
• Combine watermelon and jalapenos in a blender and puree, about 2 to 3 minutes. Strain mixture through fine sieve and return to blender. Add the salt, sugar and melon liqueur (if using) to blender and blend together, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of marinade for basting. Draw remaining marinade with syringe injector. Inject pork liberally with marinade. Sprinkle salt and pepper to cover pork. Let marinate while heating the grill.
• Remove pork from platter and place directly on the flame for direct heat. Roll the pork over the direct heat to give it grill marks. Remove pork from direct heat and place away from the flame to finish cooking. Baste with glaze every 10 to 15 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove from grill to platter and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into medallions and serve with Watermelon Salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Butterfly the pork tenderloin: Slice lengthwise down the middle of the pork, cutting about two-thirds of the way through, and open like a book. Pound the pork with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until about 3/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Mix the fennel, garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl; rub the mixture all over the pork and set aside, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the cabbage to the boiling water and cook until bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking. When cool, drain the cabbage again and blot very dry with kitchen towels. Combine the cabbage, lemon juice, parsley, walnuts, Parmesan and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a large bowl. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the pork until well marked and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Divide the cabbage salad among plates. Slice the pork and arrange on top; season with pepper.
