Chef John's Yucatan-Style Grilled Pork
Credit: Chef John

Chef John does wonders with pork tenderloin. He calls it "one of the best, and easiest, protein choices there is." Lean and versatile, pork tenderloin is equally comfortable at fancy holiday dinners or busy weeknight meals. Here's a little more from Chef John in praise of pork tenderloin: "It's the 'filet mignon' of pork. Yes, it is more expensive, but it's all edible (no bone or fat to trim away), and as you'll see, it's a very user friendly cut of meat." And with that, let's get to our favorite Chef John pork tenderloin recipes.

Roll up pork tenderloin with a stuffing mixture of fresh parsley, rosemary, garlic, plain breadcrumbs, and currants. "Sometimes you just have to show off," says Chef John. "This is one of my many recipes that looks very impressive to your dinner guests but is, in fact, quite simple and easy to prepare. " Watch the video to see a super simple way to tie the roast with kitchen twine.

This marinade features an abundance of minced garlic, annatto powder, chipotle pepper, cumin, cayenne, oregano, and three kinds of citrus juice. "This may not be an authentic Yucatan peninsula recipe, but it's just like a similarly named dish I had at a sports bar," says Chef John. "It has vibrant citrus/chile flavors and a beautiful orange hue from ground annatto."

Chef John's City Chicken

City Chicken
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This breaded and fried mock chicken drumstick is actually made with chopped pork tenderloin! Chef John explains the backstory: "This fascinating pork-on-a-stick recipe is American cuisine in a nutshell. City cooks, who couldn't get chicken, would take scraps from much cheaper, at the time, pork and build something similar to what you see here. Long after chicken became cheap and plentiful, people kept making and eating this anyway. Serve with honey mustard."

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Plum Sauce

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

You'll roast pork tenderloin with caramelized red onions and shallots and firm fresh plums. Then deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar and a little cold butter to create a deeply flavorful sauce. "When shopping for this recipe be sure to choose plums (or any other stone fruit) that are fairly firm so they keep their shape after roasting," says Chef John. "You know that selfish jerk that has to feel-up every piece of fruit before deciding on one? This time, be that jerk."

Folded Pork Cutlets

Chef John's method for pork tenderloin cutlets calls for folding the pork after pounding it thin, which seals in the flavorful seasonings. "I thought I'd seen all there was to see when it came to pan-fried pork cutlets, but then I saw something called Katsu 'Mille-Feuille,' and I realized I hadn't seen anything yet," says Chef John. "Okay, I'm being a little dramatic, but I really loved the unusual look and feel, as well as the internal flavoring opportunities the multi-layer technique provides. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Served here with a salad and a squeeze of lemon on top."

Pork Saltimbocca

Here's Chef John's take on a traditional veal dish. Chef John says, "It's just as tender as veal, and maybe even a bit more forgiving if slightly overcooked," says Chef John. "In Italy, 'saltimbocca' means 'jumps in the mouth.' This tender, juicy and delicious pork tenderloin is finished with a rich meaty sauce and will certainly please your palate."

Cocoa Cherry Pork

Believe it or not, this savory pork tenderloin was inspired by chocolate-covered cherries. "My favorite candy growing up," says Chef John. "The way that thin, crisp chocolate would break away to reveal the florescent red maraschino cherry suspended in the clear syrup was intoxicating." Chef John translates his inspiration into this cocoa- and chile-powder-rubbed roast pork tenderloin served with a black cherry sauce, featuring black cherry preserves, vinegar, and oregano.

A simple roasted pork tenderloin with spicy horseradish and mustard sauce -- a silky, rich, yet surprisingly light and super-flavorful sauce. "This is a great pork recipe," says Chef John. "Mustard is a classic with pork, but when you add the extra zing of horseradish and cayenne, and then smooth it out with a little cream and butter, well, it's devilishly delicious."

Use pepitas to create a great-tasting crust with terrific texture. "The beautiful crust also helps keep our tenderloin nice and moist," says Chef John. "I think this is the perfect fall roast. In the video, I'm also sharing two key culinary skills — how to properly cook lean meat and how to make a fast, easy, and delicious pan sauce."

Here's a simplified, lighter version of sweet and sour pork, the famous Chinese dish with a homemade sweet and sour sauce. Chef John makes it a little healthier by using lean pork tenderloin instead of chunks of deep-fried pork. "I thoroughly enjoyed this plate of florescent food," he says, "and if you're a fan of the Chinese take-out version, I believe you will enjoy this too."

"Al Pastor is a really popular way to prepare pork, famous in San Francisco's Mission District," says Chef John. "It's a pineapple juice and pepper marinated roast pork tenderloin. They make the most incredible tacos and burritos. This is inspired by those flavors." Serve with lightly-fried tortillas topped with melted Jack cheese, shredded cabbage, and a little salsa.
