Yield Makes 6 servings; can be doubled for 10 or 12 (no need to double the glaze or the mojo)

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the glaze:
1 cup guava jelly (available at Latin and Caribbean markets) or apricot jam
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup orange juice, preferably fresh
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the mojo:
2 tablespoons mild vegetable oil, such as canola
1 small red onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 cups orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 habanero chile, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the pork:
2 pork tenderloins, about 1 1/2 pounds each
2 tablespoons mild vegetable oil, such as canola
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the glaze:
  • Whisk the ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The glaze can be made a few days in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • Make the mojo:
  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes; do not brown. Add the orange juice, lime juice, and habanero and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half. Whisk in the cilantro and cumin and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The mojo can be made a few hours in advance and set aside at room temperature.)
  • Make the pork:
  • 1. Heat your grill to high. Set aside a few tablespoons of glaze for brushing the cooked pork.
  • 2. Brush the pork with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, brushing often with the glaze, until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • 3. Remove the pork from the grill, brush with the reserved glaze, and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with mojo and serve immediately.
