Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 3 tablespoons Habanero Pepper Infused Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon plain rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon Habanero Pepper Infused Olive Oil for the salsa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for the pan or grill

Equipment

  • 1 grill or cast iron skillet For searing and finishing the pork
  • 1 Mixing bowl For the pineapple salsa
  • 1 Tongs For turning the tenderloin
  • 1 Cutting board For slicing the rested pork
  • 1 Chef’s knife For trimming and chopping

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and set it on a cutting board.
  2. 2. Rub the pork with 3 tablespoons Habanero Pepper Infused Olive Oil, then season all sides with kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. 3. In a bowl, combine pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 tablespoon Habanero Pepper Infused Olive Oil. Stir gently and let the salsa stand while you cook the pork.
  4. 4. Heat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  5. 5. Sear the pork on all sides until nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  6. 6. Move the pork to indirect heat or reduce the heat to medium, then cook until the center reaches 145°F, about 10 to 14 minutes more depending on thickness.
  7. 7. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. 8. Slice the pork into medallions, spoon pineapple salsa over the top, and serve right away.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the salsa slightly chunky so it contrasts with the tender pork. If the pineapple is very sweet, add a little more lime juice to keep the flavors bright and balanced. Leftover salsa also works nicely with grilled chicken or fish.
