the Painted Apron

3 years ago

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!
