This is my second strawberry recipe of the week but I simply couldn't resist. We're not a big meat eating family but my husband does have a thing for pork tenderloin so once in a blue moon I'll make one. Pork tenderloin has long been known for how easily it is prepared so it's great for a weekday meal but at the same time it's a good quality cut of meat that usually comes out well. Pork in general takes well to the play on sweet and savory and that's why I thought it a good candidate for my strawberry sauce. The sauce is easy to make. I think it would also be a good match for a creamy brie. Simply spread it atop a dollop of creamy brie and a cracker and you've set yourself up for a pretty elegant snack.
Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Spicy Strawberry Sauce
1 cup local, organic strawberries
2 tbsp organic olive oil
1 tsp jalapeño pepper, diced, seeded
2 tbsp shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pork tenderloin
1 tbsp organic olive oil
Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Method
- Wash, remove stems, and dice the strawberries.
- Begin to cook the berries in olive oil over low heat.
- Add in jalapeño, shallots, and garlic stirring continuously.
- After the strawberries have cooked down so that they resemble a jam add sugar, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for a few more minutes stirring continuously.
- Rub pork tenderloin with olive oil and then season with salt and pepper.
- Grill for about 4 minutes on each side or until medium rare.
- Let sit for 20 minutes. Slice and top with strawberry sauce.
Serves 6.
