Sunday Supper, Hoisin Pork and Zucchini & Corn Sauté
You are going to want to put this on your menu asap!
It’s easy, it’s delicious, it’s a little bit different,
and it’s Summer on a plate!
Pork tenderloin is cut into chunks, marinated for 6 hours, and grilled*
Serve it with a simple sauté of corn and zucchini
and you have a winner of a Summer dinner!
*You can make this in a slow cooker too,
instructions are in the printable recipe at the end of this post
The sauce is a mixture of hoisin sauce {Asian BBQ sauce}
and Sweet Chili Sauce
Remove any fat from the tenderloin that you can
and cut the tenderloin into chunks
Mix the sauces together
Reserve 1/2 cup for basting
and put the rest into a large ziplock bag or dish
Add the pork chunks and mix around to cover them
Place in the refrigerator for 4-8 hours, turning occasionally
Preheat your grill to medium high, about 400 degrees
and place pork on hot grill
Cook for 10-12* minutes then turn over and baste with reserved sauce
Grill for 10* more minutes then remove to a pan
and brush again with sauce
*These times are approximate,
cooking time will depend on your grill,
the size of your pork pieces, and the temperature
so use your own judgement
We enjoyed this pork with a simple vegetable saute
of zucchini, onion, and corn
You can use canned corn, thawed frozen corn
or fresh corn cut from the cob
I used fresh corn and cooked it in the microwave
in the husk for 3 minutes per ear,
then I shucked it and cut the corn off the cob
Dice the onion and cut zucchini into pieces
Saute the onion in butter and olive oil over medium heat
until it begins to turn golden
Add corn and zucchini to skillet and season with salt and pepper
Stir occasionally for several minutes
until zucchini begins to brown
Cover pan, turn burner off and let pan sit on burner for 10 minutes
to finish cooking before serving
It will hold and stay warm for 20-30 minutes
if you aren’t ready to serve yet
We also had some Incredibly Easy Scalloped Potatoes with this~
Enjoy!

A perfect summer meal! The pork chunks look so good.
Thanks Angie, so simple and so good!
Sounds very flavorful!
I can’t wait to make this again, we all loved it!
Jenna, this looks delicious. The men in my family would love this, maybe for Father’s Day! Have a wonderful Sunday!
Thanks Pam, it’s so good, and the kids liked it too!
Yum!! Perfect bites for a grilled meal. Making me hungry this morning!
So good and couldn’t be easier!

Thank you Esme, I will try to link up tomorrow!
I’ve been serving my Bob pork for years, and 30 years later, he informs me he doesn’t like it. But, I’ll bet he loves it this way. I’m not giving up. It’s so lean and versatile and I get tired of chicken.
You can make this with chicken thighs too…
I love EVERYTHING about this meal! I’ll be back to check out those potatoes too!
Thanks so much, it was so good, I can’t wait to have it again!
Oh my mercy! My lips are licking! LOL! These dishes look amazing! Saving this! Happy June. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy, I hope you make this, it’s so easy and so good!
This makes me so very hungry, and I just finish dinner!
It’s a good one Mary!
Outstanding! I love marinated meats.
Thank you!
Yummy Jenna. I use the trick of leaving husks on the ear of corn and putting in the microwave for 3-4 minutes per ear and the husks are so much easier to remove with a paper towel. So much easier and now I will add this recipe to my file of “Jenna’s recipes”. thanks and have a great week. Hugs
Thank you Kari, yes the microwave method is so easy. You can roast it in the oven in the husk too, so sometimes I do that…
Jenna, this looks so good and a dish I’d love to try out. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you Julie, it’s so easy and so good!
It all looks delicious Jenna! I’ve never tried hoison sauce so I’ll have to add that to the list lol. I’ve also never tried the husk on in the microwave trick and I forget how versatile zucchini is. I’m pinning so I remember this. Thanks for the mouthwatering recipes!
Thanks Kim! I hope you try the hoisin sauce, it’s really good and a nice change from BBQ sauce. You can also cook corn in the oven in the husk, 350 for an hour. So much easier than boiling!
This does look like summer on a plate! I have to try this Jenna, we love grilling. Hope you had a great time at the beach. I’ll be in touch when we return………
This is a keeper Emily, we all loved it! I hope you’re having a wonderful getaway!
Yummy! This is the same marinade as you use on the chicken thighs, right, Jenna?? I’ve made that version of yours and love it and gave it to a friend after surgery. The veggies sound great, too.
Yes, I have made chicken thighs this way and also short ribs in the crock pot, it’s so good! Thanks Kitty~
Looks so good Jenna! We’ve been on a tenderloin kick lately, love the flavor of hoisin ♥
Everyone can’t wait to have this again, it was so good!
