Since a few years ago, the consumption of pork has been steadily increasing in popularity.

It’s possible that this is a consequence of the United States Department of Agriculture’s decision in May of 2011 to reduce the temperature at which pork can be cooked safely to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, thereby determining that pork can be consumed safely even when cooked to a medium-rare temperature.

When cooked to a medium-rare, the pork will have a slightly pink centre and will be more soft and juicy. Before the USDA lowered the acceptable cooking temperature, restaurants had already been using this method to cook pigs for years, but now anyone can cook pork at home to achieve the same soft, juicy, restaurant-quality results.

Chili Rubbed Pork Tenderloin With Apricot Glaze

Ingredient

Spice Rub:

  • 1 teaspoon of ground chilli peppers
  • 1 level spoonful of powdered garlic
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoons of black pepper in ground form

Glaze:

  • 1 ½ cups apricot jam/jelly

Steps To Make It

  1. Add salt and pepper to taste to a small bowl containing chilli powder and garlic powder. Rub the spice blend into the pork tenderloins. Before cooking, refrigerate the tenderloins for at least 2 to 24 hours.
  2. Place the apricot jam in a saucepan and bring it up to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the skillet has been removed from the heat, the other components of the glaze should be stirred in. In a separate bowl, serve the pork tenderloins with half of the glaze drizzled over them.
  3. The grill should be prepared to a medium-high temperature before cooking. To reach a temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, the pork tenderloins should be cooked for 15 to 20 minutes. After approximately 4 minutes of cooking, brush the pork tenderloins with the remaining apricot glaze in the pan. After 2 minutes, flip the pork tenderloins and coat the opposite side with the glaze. Continue cooking for a further two minutes Allow pork to rest for at least five minutes before slicing for optimal results.
  4. Instructions for roasting: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pork tenderloins on an oiled 9-by-13-inch baking sheet lined with aluminium foil. 15 minutes in the oven. Apply the apricot glaze that remains to the cake. 15 extra minutes of baking time. Apply the glaze on another.
