Pork Tenderloin With Garlic Orange Vinaigrette And Sauteed Spinach Recipes

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.

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:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. With a paring knife, cut 10 small slits in each tenderloin. Stuff slits with garlic and thyme; season pork with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium. Add pork, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Add pears to skillet. Transfer to oven, and cook, tossing pears once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork and pears to a platter; let rest 5 minutes. Season pan juices with salt and pepper, and pour into a gravy boat or small bowl. Slice pork, and serve with pears and pan juices.
