Orange-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Grilled Onion and Orange Salad
- 1 large sweet onion, cut crosswise into 4 thick slices
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 large navel oranges
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, seeded and thinly sliced, plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
- Three 10- to 12-ounce pork tenderloins, each cut into 6 pieces and lightly pounded
- Light a grill.
- Carefully insert a skewer into each slice of onion to keep the rings from separating.
- Brush the slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill over high heat, turning once, until charred on both sides, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the skewers and coarsely chop the onion.
- Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, carefully removing all of the bitter white pith.
- Halve the oranges lengthwise and thinly slice them crosswise.
- In a medium bowl, toss the grilled onion with the oranges, cilantro, chipotles and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix the orange marmalade with the adobo sauce and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
- Microwave the marmalade until melted, about 10 seconds.
- Brush the pork with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill over high heat, turning once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Brush the marmalade over the pork and grill until lightly glazed, about 1 minute per side.
- Transfer the pork to plates and serve with the orange salad.
