Grilled Banana Pepper Compote-Glazed Pork Tenderloin
- 12 small banana peppers
- 1 jalapeno
- Vegetable oil, for drizzling
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
- 1 1/2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- One 1 1/2- to 2-pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat.
- Drizzle the banana peppers and the jalapeno with vegetable oil and season with salt.
- Place on the grill over direct heat; grill on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Set aside to cool before removing the stems and seeds.
- Combine the cider vinegar, mustard, brown sugar and 3 ounces water in a medium pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, add the grilled banana peppers and the jalapeno to a food processor; pulse until smooth.
- Add the pureed peppers to the simmering vinegar mixture, stirring until combined.
- Slowly whisk in the flour, taking care not to create clumps.
- Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce reduces by one-quarter to an apple-butter consistency, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Set aside 3/4 cup for glazing the pork; the remainder to be used for serving.
- Drizzle the pork tenderloin with vegetable oil and sprinkle heavily with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Grill over direct heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Brush with 2 tablespoons of the banana pepper compote and move to indirect heat.
- Cook until an internal temperature of 140 degrees F is reached, rotating the pork 45 degrees every 5 minutes, and brushing it with 2 tablespoons of the compote after each rotation, 35 to 45 minutes total.
- Remove the pork to a cutting board.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with remaining compote.
