Ingredients
FOR THE TENDERLOIN
- Vegetable oil, for grill
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp. grainy mustard
- 1 tbsp. light brown sugar
- 1 tsp. sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 lb. pork tenderloin
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE SALSA
- 2 c. small pineapple chunks
- 1/4 c. red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 c. fresh cilantro leaves and thin stems, finely chopped
- 1/2 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped, remaining half thinly sliced for garnish
- 1/2 tsp. fresh lime zest, plus 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice, from 2 limes
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Make the tenderloin: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, sugar, paprika, and coriander. Season pork with salt and pepper. Spread paste all over tenderloin.
- Preheat grill over medium heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil.
- Grill the tenderloin over direct medium heat with the lid closed, turning every 4 to 5 minutes with tongs, until the outside is lightly charred and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin reads 145°, about 16 to 20 minutes. Remove tenderloin to a plate and rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, red onion, cilantro, chopped jalapeño, lime zest and juice, and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let flavors meld at room temperature while pork cooks.
- Slice tenderloin into thin pieces, about ½-inch thick, and spoon some of the pineapple salsa over top and sprinkle with thinly sliced jalapeño. Serve with remaining salsa on the side.
