The Olive Garden® Italian Pork Tenderloin - Genie “The menu description says it best: Pork tenderloins marinated in extra-virgin olive oil and fresh rosemary and served with oven-roasted potatoes. This recipe will make four of these,, enough for your entire family to have a delicious meal.�? 4 8-10 ounces pork tenderloins 8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons garlic, minced 4 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper prepared veal demi glace sauce 2 medium baking potatoes 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium green pepper 1 medium red pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon rosemary, chopped 1 teaspoon garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons parsley, chopped 1/2 cup Romano cheese 1. Prepare the tenderloins by thawing if frozen, then rinsing with water. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper on all sides. Then , in a large plastic Ziploc bag, combine the olive oil, rosemary, garlic and parsley. Add the pork tenderloins to the bag. Squeeze out excess air and seal. Shake well to marinate the tenderloins. (If you can’t fit all 4 tenderloins in one bag, add half of the ingredients to each bag, and place 2 tenderloins in each bag.) 2. Then, place the bag with the tenderloins in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours. Occasionally, take out the bag and shake it briefly. 3. While the meat marinates, peel the potatoes and dice them into 1/2 inch pieces. Then core and seed the peppers, using a sharp knife to remove the seeds and the white pith from the inside. Dice the pepper skin into 1/2 inch pieces. Then in a small mixing bowl, add the olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir well to mix and combine. Add the potatoes and peppers to the mixture and stir briefly, just to combine. Then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator until the pork tenderloins are ready. 4. After the meat is done marinating, preheat an outdoor or indoor grill until hot. Also preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When it is hot, remove the tenderloins, from the bag and quickly shake up excess marinade. Then place the tenderloins onto the grill. 5. Also remove the potatoes from the fridge. Transfer them, oil, vegetables and all, to a large baking dish. Then place them in the preheated oven for about ten minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. 6. Place a meat thermometer into one of the tenderloins. They should cool until the internal temperature is about 165 degrees. When the tenderloins are done cooking, remove them to a paper towel lined plate. 7. When the potatoes are done cooking, remove the baking dish and sprinkle the potatoes with parsley and Romano cheese. 8. Place one cooked pork tenderloin on the side of a dinner plate and place about 1/4 portion of the oven-roasted potatoes on the other side. Place the demi-glace sauce in a medium saucepan and heat over high heat, while stirring, until very hot. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 plates in all. 9. Once the glaze is hot, pour a portion of it over each pork tenderloin. Garnish each plate with fresh rosemary, and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings. |

Hard Rock Cafe Baby Rock Watermelon Ribs Source: Los Angeles Times newspaper This makes enough for 4 pounds of ribs. Hard Rock Cafe Watermelon BBQ Sauce Watermelon rind from about 1/2 of a small watermelon 1 cup dark corn syrup 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup tomato catsup 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke 1/4 teaspoon black pepper To prepare the watermelon rind, cut off the green skin and about 1/2 inch of the hard white part of the rind, keeping the part that is lighter red to white. This is the tender part of the rind. (Avoid using the harder, white rind that is just inside the green skin.) Cut the trimmed rind into chunks or pieces, and purée in a blender or food processor for about 10 seconds only. Strain the liquid from the pulp, and measure 1 cup of strained pulp. In a saucepan, combine the 1 cup of strained pulp with all of the remaining ingredients, and bring this mixture to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour or until the sauce has reached desired thickness. To make the famous ribs Marinate 4 pounds of baby back ribs for two hours minimum - or overnight - in 1 recipe for Watermelon Barbecue Sauce, reserving some sauce (marinade) for basting at grilling time. Bake the marinated ribs, wrapped in foil (seam side up so the package won't leak in the oven), at 300 degrees F for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until ribs are very tender and the rib meat begins to pull back (about 1/2 inch) from the cut ends of the bone. Remove ribs from foil and place on grill, brushing with reserved marinade - about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Finished ribs should be slightly charred, but not burned. Serve with leftover sauce on the side. | |

Applebee's Honey Barbecue Riblets Barbecue Sauce 1 cup ketchup 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup corn syrup 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 2 tablespoons molasses 2 teaspoons dry mustard 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke flavor Combine all ingredients in saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes. Riblet (Rib) Preparation: For rib tips ("riblets") and full racks, first season ribs with salt, pepper and garlic to taste. Then, sear the ribs on the grill/broiler until both sides are mahogany in color and the meat has begun to pull away from the bone (155 degrees F internal temperature). Place ribs on rack in deep pan/roaster. Cover bottom of pan with mixture of water and liquid smoke flavoring (4:1 ratio of water to liquid smoke) without mixture touching the ribs (it will make them bitter). Seal tightly with two layers of foil wrap to cover. Slow cook in 275 degree F oven until meat is tender. Time varies with how many ribs are being cooked, pan used and your oven temperature. Plan on anywhere from two to five hours, but check to be sure. The slower the better for this process. Just make sure an internal food temperature of 155°F is maintained. (To moderate cooking for small amounts of ribs, try covering ribs with chopped onions, peppers and tomatoes. This also keeps them moist and adds a nice flavor). When ribs are fully cooked and tender, remove from oven and finish off on grill/broiler until marrow in the bone tips "sizzles." Brush with Honey Barbecue Sauce just before removing for service. Serve with your favorite side dishes. Applebee's serves their ribs with French fries, coleslaw and their special honey barbecue baked beans. | |
