This dish gets its kick from mustard and
chili powder. Honey adds sweetness and gives the tender pork
a delicate glaze.
Spicy Pork Tenderloins
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 1/2 pounds
total), trimmed of fat
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup prepared mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Fold and tie narrow end of each pork tenderloin
under to give meat an even thickness.
- In a large bowl, stir together honey,
mustard, salt, and chili powder. Add meat and turn to coat. Cover
and refrigerate, turning meat occasionally, for at least 4 hours
or until next day.
- Prepare barbecue for indirect grilling:
Ignite about 50 charcoal briquets in a barbecue with a lid. When
the coals are covered with gray ash (after 30 to 40 minutes),
push an equal number to opposite sides of the grate or arrange
them around the grate's perimeter. Evenly distribute 5 or 6 briquets
on the coals, then set a foil drip pan on the grate between the
coals. Place grill 4 to 6-inches above the coals.
- Set meat on grill above drip pan. Cover
barbecue and adjust vents as needed to maintain an even heat.
cook until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of meat
registers 150°F to 155°F (65°C), about 18 minutes.
- To serve, cut meat across the grain into
thin slanting slices; discard string.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
