how to prepare |
For habanero butter, stir together butter, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and the chile in small bowl until well combined. Transfer the butter mixture to a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, form a 3-inch log. Wrap; place in freezer about 15 minutes or until firm enough to slice.
For pork medallions, cut each pork tenderloin into four 3-ounce pieces. Place four of the pork pieces between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound each to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat two more times with remaining pork pieces. Cover and refrigerate pork medallions while preparing rub.
For cilantro-sugar rub, place 1/4 cup cilantro, the brown sugar, oil, garlic, salt and paprika in food processor container. Cover and process for 1 minute. Rub or spread about 1/2 teaspoon of rub mixture on each side of each pork medallion.
Prepare a medium-hot fire in grill. Grill pork medallions, uncovered, over direct heat for 4-6 minutes or until no the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F., turning medallions over halfway through cooking.
While pork is cooking, cut butter log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place one butter patty on each pork medallion. Grill just until butter begins to melt. Remove pork medallions from grill and let rest 3-5 minutes before serving. |

Quick Tip No. 56 |
The "average" serving size for pork is 3 ounces of cooked meat. Start with 4 ounces of boneless, raw pork to yield 3 ounces of cooked pork. A 3-ounce serving is about the size of a deck of cards.
