Pork Tenderloin with Charred Tomato-Jalapeno Salsa
Pork Tenderloin with Charred Tomato-Jalapeno Sals Head to the store and pick up chipotle chile powder, vegetable oil, garlic, and a few other things to make it today.
Instructions
Prepare a grill for high heat cooking.
Brush the grill grate with oil. Grill the tomatoes, jalapeno, and onion, turning frequently, until the vegetables are charred all over. When cool enough to handle, stem and seed the jalapeno (leave the seeds in for a hotter salsa), and trim the root end from the onion. Chop the vegetables with a knife or pulse them briefly in a food processor. Stir in the cilantro, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, brush the pork with oil and sprinkle with chile powder, salt, and pepper. Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Slice the pork and serve with the salsa.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Malbec, Sangiovese
Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Sangiovese are my top picks for Pork Tenderloin. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. The SeaGlass rosé of Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

SeaGlass Rose of Pinot Noir
A beautiful reflection of Monterey County’s pristine coastal terroir, the Rosé opens with fragrant wild strawberries and dried rose petals on the nose. Flavors of juicy cherry andripe raspberry are balanced by refreshing acidity and a crisp, clean finish. This vibrant wine is a diverse menu partner, pairing exceptionally well with prosciutto and melon or crab cakes with spicy aioli.
