Ingredients:
Pork Tenderloin Brine
2 pounds pork tenderloin
1/4 cup kosher salt
4 cups warm water
2 tablespoons Blackberry Ginger Dark Balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Pork Tenderloin Rub
2 tablespoons Japanese Roasted Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Blackberry Hoisin Ginger Glaze
1/2 cup blackberry jam
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoon Butter Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons Honey Ginger White Balsamic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
In a gallon-size freezer bag, dissolve 1/4 cup of kosher salt in the warm water. Add the remaining brine ingredients, including the pork. Brine for exactly 20 minutes. The pork becomes mealy if its brined longer.
Meanwhile, prepare the Blackberry Hoisin Ginger Glaze by adding 1 tablespoon Butter Olive Oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in blackberry jam, hoisin sauce, Honey Ginger White Balsamic, salt and pepper.
At exactly 20 minutes, remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Rub the pork all over with 1 tablespoon Roasted Japanese Sesame Oil, followed by 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Heat 1 tablespoon of EVOO in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot add pork tenderloin. Sear each side until browned, approximately 1-2 minutes per side. Place tenderloin on rack in shallow roasting pan or a rack paced on a baking sheet. Brush with Blackberry Hoisin Ginger Glaze, brushing again after 15 minutes of cooking. Roast approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers between 145 and 150 degrees.
When pork is done, let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, warm the sauce. Slice pork thinly then drizzle with Blackberry Hoisin Ginger Glaze garnish with chopped scallions serve with favorite side.
