Best Pork Tenderloins With Wild Rice Recipes

WILD RICE-STUFFED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• To butterfly pork roast, cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the pork loin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open loin so it lies flat. On each half, make another lengthwise slit down the center to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness. , Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder and pepper., In a large bowl, combine the rice, apricots, onion, celery, parsley, sage, thyme and broth. Spread stuffing evenly over pork, 1/4 to 1/2 in. thick. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie the roast at 1-1/2 to 2-in. intervals with kitchen string. Place the remaining stuffing in a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish; set aside., Bake roast, uncovered, at 350° 1 hour. Remove roast from oven; carefully remove string. Place bacon strips over top of roast, overlapping slightly. Bake until bacon is browned and crisp and a thermometer reads 160°, 30-45 minutes longer. If needed, broil 4 in. from heat until bacon reaches desired crispness. Meanwhile, cover and bake remaining stuffing until heated through, about 30 minutes., Let roast stand for 10 minutes before slicing. If desired, brush with apricot preserves before slicing.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BLACK RICE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Cook the rice as the label directs; set aside. Meanwhile, brush the red onion and pork with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper. Mix the plum sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon chili sesame oil and the ginger in a small bowl; remove half the sauce to a separate bowl and set aside.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the red onion and pork, covered and turning occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes; remove the onion to a plate. Brush the pork with the plum sauce mixture and continue grilling, covered, until a thermometer inserted into the middle registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, put the bok choy in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave until crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning, until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Roughly chop the bok choy and onion.
• Fluff the rice; divide among plates. Top with the vegetables and serve with the pork. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1 teaspoon chili sesame oil into the reserved sauce. Spoon over the meat and vegetables; top with sliced scallions.

HERB-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH TOMATO RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the pork dry, brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss half each of the scallions, parsley and dill in a small bowl; rub all over the pork. Transfer to the baking sheet and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining scallions, the celery, garlic and rice. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and gently simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, broil the pork, turning once, until lightly browned and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 16 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Stir the parmesan and remaining parsley and dill into the rice; season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and serve with the rice. Top with more parmesan and parsley.

STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ANDOUILLE & WILD RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add onion; saute until translucent, about 1 minute.
• Stir in sausage, rice, and pecans; cook until sausage is done. Season with salt and pepper; remove from heat and let cool.
• Clean tenderloins and pat dry. Prepare by making a horizontal incision along the side of each tenderloin, forming a pocket.
• Spoon stuffing deep into tenderloins and close with butcher string. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Coat a large ovenproof skillet with oil or spray and place over high heat. Sear all sides of tenderloins until browned.
• Transfer tenderloins to oven. Roast until cooked through, about 25-35 minutes or until centers are 175°F (I think this is a bit overdone so I remove at 155°F and cover with foil. I normally allow 6-8 minutes for each inch of thickness for my pork).
• Remove tenderloins from oven and let rest 5 minutes (this should then result in a center temp of 160°F).
• Slice into medallions about 3/4" thick.
• Arrange on a warm platter and spoon sauce or gravy on top.
