Pork Tenderloin With Fresh Pineapple Salsa image

This is a somewhat tweaked version of a recipe I found in the 2007 Taste of Home The Busy Family Cookbook, & then it was reduced to serve 2 of us!

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3/4 lb) pork tenderloin
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed, divided
2 tablespoons honey dijon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup red bell pepper, diced small
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced thin
1 cup fresh pineapple, sliced, diced small
1/4 cup pineapple juice, unsweetened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F, then put the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar with the Dijon mustard, paprika & ginger, then spread HALF of this mixture over the pork tenderloin, before baking uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • When the 15 minutes are up, spread the pork with the remaining brown sugar mixture & bake 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F, but if you're a traditionalist, you'll want the thermometer to read 160 degrees F!
  • Meanwhile, for the salsa, in a small mixing bowl, combine the bell pepper & onion with the last tablespoon of brown sugar, along with the cup of diced pineapple & pineapple juice.
  • When the pork comes out of the oven, let it stand briefly before slicing the meat & serving it with a generous portion of salsa.
