Pork Tenderloin with Chipotle-Maple Mop














This recipe is courtesy of Food Network Kitchens. I followed the original recipe; however  instead of broiling the tenderloins, I chose to grill them. Grill at 450-degrees (considered medium heat on the Weber) turning once for a total of 10-15 minutes. If the tenderloin are not uniform in size; adjust cooking time accordingly. Generously brush the tenderloins with the mop the last 2-3 minutes. I like to slightly undercook and reheat for dinner. I did reheat under the broiler.

Ingredients for Pork:

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tenderloins, about 12 ounces each, silver skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
Directions for Pork:
Combine the coriander, garlic powder and ginger. Brush the tenderloins with oil and rub with the spices. Season with salt and pepper. Grill as directed above.













Ingredients for Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1 whole chipolte pepper with adobe sauce (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions for Sauce:
Whisk all the ingredients; setting aside half the sauce to drizzle on the tenderloin once taken off the grill.
I buy the canned chipolte pepper in adobe sauce. I will place individual peppers on a pieces of plastic and add the adobe sauce to each packet evenly. Freeze on a cookie sheet with packets open and once frozen wrap and seal. Return to the freezer. Now you have individual chipolte pepper for later use.
