MOLASSES- AND CHILE-GLAZED PORK MEDALLIONS WITH SMOKY CORN-RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
• In a small bowl, mix together molasses, butter, crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon black pepper until well combined; set glaze aside.
• Pat pork dry with paper towels and coat with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer pork to grill, placing cutlets directly over heat. Cook, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Using about half of the glaze, brush cutlets with during the last 30 seconds of cooking, reserving any remaining glaze for serving.
• Transfer cutlets to a serving platter and loosely cover; let stand 5 minutes before serving with Smoky Corn-Red Pepper Relish and reserved glaze.

Add the chopped red onion to the skillet, saute until translucent, then add it to the baking dish. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce along with the honey, marmalade, and tomato-vegetable juice. When 20 minutes are up, remove the pork from the oven, remove the foil, and with a very sharp knife cut deep slits into the meat. Pour the honey sauce into these slits and over the meat. Slice the unpeeled oranges into 1/4-inch crosswise pieces and arrange the slices on the top and sides of tenderloins. Return the meat to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the orange slices begin to curl, about 15 additional minutes. Remove the meat from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into medallions. Transfer to a platter to serve.
