Pork Tenderloin with Honey Butter Sear & Orange-Date Relish

This recipe is EASY and so delicious. Dates, oranges and basil make magic together, especially when piled over a thick, juicy, smoky grilled pork tenderloin. YUM.

For the relish:

  • 2 oranges, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 cup pitted date, chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  1. To prepare the relish, mix all relish ingredients in a bowl and chill until ready to serve. This can be done up to 4 hours in advance.

    For the pork tenderloin:

    • 2 lb pork tenderloins
    • 1 tbsp butter
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp pepper
    • 1/2 tsp coriander
    1. Preheat grill to 400-450F. (Or preheat oven to 425F).
    2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Season pork by rubbing honey, salt, pepper and coriander over it. Add pork to skillet and cook, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until all sides are slightly browned.
    3. Grill (or roast) over indirect heat for 40 minutes or until pork is cooked through, turning half way. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest for 3 minutes, then slice.
    4. Top with relish and serve.
