Guinness Honey Glazed Pork Loin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and balsamic vinegar.
• Place the pork tenderloins in a roasting pan, and roast 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
• Remove pork from oven, and baste with the honey sauce. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue roasting pork 45 minutes, basting occasionally with the honey sauce, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• THE GLAZE: Put the Guinness, honey and sugar into a pan, and reduce by almost half to form a sweet, syrupy glaze, then allow to cool.
• Heat the oven to 200ºC/fan 180ºC/gas 6.
• Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want, place on a baking tray, and roast for 20 minutes. Then turn the heat down to 160ºC/fan 140ºC/gas 3. Remove the pork from the oven and brush all over with most of the glaze (reserving a few tablespoons), cook for a further 40-50 minutes, brushing and basting the pork as it cooks until it's beautifully caramelised and glazed.
• Remove the pork from the roasting tray and leave to rest.
• Pour the remaining glaze into the roasting tray, then add the wine, Champagne or water. Place the pan on the heat and bring everything to the boil. Simmer for a few minutes until you have a thick gravy.
• Carve the pork into thin slices and place on top of the colconnan (see Colconnan recipe #123663). Glaze with the Guinness syrup, drizzle a little on the plates and finish with a sprig of parsley.
• My Notes: I really don't think you could get any clearer instructions than Kevin Dundon's. Yet the recipe is far from prescriptive. And I just love his catering for varied tastes in his "Season the pork with pepper and salt, if you want" instruction! And the option of using "wine, Champagne or water". I'll be looking closely at any more of his recipes I come across.

Steps:

• Bring stout, sugar, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 2quart nonreactive saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then continue boiling (keep an eye on it and reduce heat to keep it from boiling over) until glaze is syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup, 20 to 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard solids. Preheat broiler. Pat chops dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Divide glaze between 2 small bowls and set 1 aside for use later. Brush both sides of chops with glaze (from remaining bowl) and arrange on rack of a broiler pan. Broil 5 inches from heat, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Note: I use a meat thermometer to check for doneness-- Lamb about 140°F and Pork about 145-150°F. Transfer chops to a platter and drizzle with reserved glaze.
