Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Napa Cabbage Sesame Slaw

Grilled or Roasted Pork Tenderloins

Ingredients:

Pork Tenderloins
Olive oil (not extra virgin)
Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper

Method:

1. Preheat grill med/high or preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Rub tenderloins with olive oil, salt and pepper liberally all over the outside on all sides.

3. Grill or Roast for about 18-20 minutes. It takes about 12-15 minutes per pound and most tenderloins weigh a little over a pound, so they don't take long to cook.

4. Let the tenderloins REST without touching them for at least 10-15 minutes after cooking. This will insure that they stay juicy and continue to cook for a few minutes after pulling them off the grill or out of the oven.

Napa Cabbage Sesame Slaw

Makes 8 portions

Ingredients:

1 head Napa (Chinese) cabbage
1 yellow pepper
1 red pepper
1 red onion
1 bunch cilantro
Juice and zest of 1 lime or lemon
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Method:

1. Cut cabbage in half length wise. Cut out core. Slice into small strips cross ways.

Place in large bowl.

2. Cut out stem and seeds from peppers and cut into strips.

3. Cut onion into strips.

4. Make dressing in separate bowl or small food processor by squeezing lime or lemon, salt and pepper and zest, and slowly adding oils to the juice.

5. Chop cilantro lightly and add to vegetables.

6. Leave the veggies separate from the dressing in a zip lock container in the fridge (they will stay nice for up to a week). Right before eating (or 1/2 hour before eating) toss the veggies with a little bit of the dressing to keep them crispy and fresh. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
