Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 pork tenderloins (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each)
1/2 bottle red wine
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
6 garlic cloves, peeled
Olive oil or vegetable oil for grilling
Guava Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows
Papaya Salsa, recipe follows
12 ounces guava paste, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups papaya, cubed into 1/2-inch squares
1 Hass avocado, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons diagonally sliced scallions
1/4 cup lemon juice
Pinch sugar
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Marinate the pork overnight in the wine, balsamic vinegar, and garlic.
  • Preheat the grill on high. When hot, brush the pork tenderloins with olive oil and sear each side for about a minute. Lower the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes per side, brushing generously with the guava barbeque sauce at least twice.
  • Remove the pork tenderloins from the heat, glaze with another thick coat of the barbeque sauce, and let rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes. Then slice the tenderloins into 1-inch medallions. The pork should be served warm with a side of papaya salsa.
  • In a small saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until the guava paste dissolves and the ingredients combine to form a thick, syrupy sauce, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. If not using immediately, refrigerate.
  • Combine all the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Toss, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Bring to room temperature before serving.
