Best Mini Pork Tenderloin Club Recipes

GRILLED MINI PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sherry, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the garlic.
• Place the pork in a medium glass bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the pork. Add the oil and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Add the cream, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Spray a grill pan or grilling rack with nonstick spray. Place the grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
• Remove the pork from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Thread 3 pieces of pork onto each skewer. Grill the skewers until the pork is golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Place a skewer in each endive leaf. Drizzle the skewers with sauce and serve.

INDIVIDUAL PORK WELLINGTONS

Steps:

• 1. Slice each tenderloin into 4 equal portions. Eight pieces total. I removed the small tip ends to use later.
• 2. Combine seasoning together in a small bowl, stir to combine. Then sprinkle a generous amount over meat. Heat oil in a large skillet till hot.then add tenderloin pieces, and cook over medium high heat, till meat browns but not cooked through, turning once. Drain on paper towel and set aside till needed.
• 3. PREHEAT OVEN TO 425 DEGREES F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside till needed. Unfold each puff pastry.KEEP IN FRIDGE TILL NEEDED, OTHERWISE SHEETS WILL STICK TOGETHER, & CREATE DIFFICULTY IN SEPARATING.
• 4. Place on a lightly floured surface. Roll into an 11 inch square then cut each sheet into 4 pieces about 5 1/2 inche squares each.
• 5. Place one slice of proscuitto in center of each square, then top with cooled pork pieces, then add1 tablespoon of Boursin cheese on top., then lay another piece of proscuitto on top of Boursin cheese.
• 6. Brush edges of pastry with water. Then gather up corners of pastry over meat. Seal the edges by pinching seams together tro seal.
• 7. Combine eggs with water and brush over each bundle. Repeat steps till all the tenderloins have been wrapped. Place on prepared baking sheet with seam side UP. I brushed with evaporated milk instead.
• 8. BAKE UNCOVERED ABOUT 25 MINUTES IN PREHEATED 425 DEGREE F. oVEN. OR UNTIL PASTRY IS GOLDEN BROWN AND THERMOMETER INSERTED INTO CENTER OF PORK REGISTERS 155 DEGREES f. lET STAND AT LEAST 5 MINUTES before serving. This recipe is from Better Homes & Gardens CHRISTmas Cooking from the heart. I made a few minor changes to the original recipe. The original recipe only made 4 pieces, I doubled the recipe and have listed what I used here.
• 9. PLEASE NOTE THE ORIGINAL RECIPE DID NOT SEASON THE MEAT, THAT WAS MY CHOICE, BECAUSE i WANTED THE MEAT TO HAVE MORE FLAVOR.
• 10. This is what the Wellington looked like once you cut into it. I also served Sister Schuberts Dinner Rolls with my own createdGarlic Cracked Pepper & Chive Butter. The recipe is posted here.
