PORK TENDERLOIN REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS


The pork was smoked to 135°F and can be sliced and eaten. To warm or cook further, follow the guidelines below. Reheating pork tenderloins in the oven allows the remaining fat marbled in the meat to melt and return moisture to the pork. The red ring inside is the smoke ring, not a sign of undercooked pork. 


1. Preheat oven to 325°F.


2. Put the pork tenderloin in a pan with just enough hot water or broth to cover the bottom; tightly cover and cook for 20-30 minutes.


3. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the pork and check the desired temperature. Continue to heat to the desired temperature. 


Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  • Smoked Pork Tenderloin Sliders with Horseradish Sauce

    This is great party food, easy to make, and very satisfying. Leftovers are wonderful for snacks, lunch, or even dinner when heated in an oven at about 250 degrees for 15 minutes.



    Directions:

    Place tenderloin in a small dish with ½ cup of hot water, cover tightly with foil


    Heat the Tenderloin in the oven at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes or as following directions provided by the Brotherhood of St Andrew


    Slice into ¼” slices


    Bake Sister Schubert Rolls (not biscuits)


    Apply horseradish sauce on both sides of the sliced roll and fill it with a slice of pork tenderloin. Keep warm until served.



    (Horseradish sauce can be purchased as a prepared sauce or can be homemade with mayonnaise and creamed horseradish made to taste, depending on the amount of heat desired)



    Can be reheated in an oven or toaster oven for snacks, lunch, or dinner.  



  • Pork Tenderloin Sliders with Fig

    Sister Shubert Yeast Dinner Rolls


    Fig jam, relish or chutney


    Smoked Pork Tenderloin sliced 1/8 to 1/4” thick




    Slice the dinner rolls, add your fig preference, and put in a layer of tenderloin. Put in a jelly roll pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes




    *Kick it up a notch - add a slice of Fontina or a smear of Blue Cheese.

  • Pan Sauces

    Here are several pan sauces, quick to make and easily adjusted to individual tastes. Normally one makes a pan sauce after searing or cooking the meat in the pan. We will use the accumulated juices in the foil your pork tenderloin comes in. Simply rinse the foil with either wine or chicken broth that is going into the pan sauce anyway. 


    *You can easily double or triple these recipes. They are for one Pork Tenderloin.
