Ingredients
The tender pork provides a smoky flavor with juiciness. The addition of a fig preserve provides a sweet, berry flavor with the likeness of a Fig Newton. The combination of the meat and fig preserve may be unexpected, but they pair well together. The pineapple provides a tropical twist to this dish, and the banana peppers add a tang that pairs well with the creaminess of the coleslaw.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, and In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the whole bag of slaw.
- We used one 12 wt oz bag of Giant’s brand of Rainbow Salad Slaw, which includes broccoli stalks, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli florets, and red cabbage.
Pour out the liquid from the jar of banana peppers and add to the mixing bowl.
- We used one 16 fl oz jar of Mezzetta Family Co. Mild Banana Pepper Rings.
Add in 6 fl oz or 1/2 jar of the coleslaw dressing. Mix all ingredients together.
- We used a 12 fl oz jar of Marie’s Coleslaw Dressing (Non-GMO Oil. Gluten Free. No Preservatives).
The tenderloin we used was a bit over 1 lb, coming in at 18.4 oz. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the pork tenderloin on top.
- We used a Smithfield Freshly Seasoned Roasted Garlic and Cracked Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin (Dry Rubbed with Seasoning. Marinated with up to a 20% Solution of Pork Broth, Vinegar, and Salt to Improve Tenderness and Juiciness. Smoke Flavoring Added. No Artificial Ingredients).
Once the oven has been preheated, bake the pork tenderloin for 25 to 30 minutes per pound. We baked our tenderloin for 30 minutes. Cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (medium-rare) to 160 degrees Fahrenheit (medium) when measured in the thickest part of the tenderloin.
Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Optionally, if you grill the tenderloin, heat the charcoal or gas grill to medium. Grill the tenderloin 18 to 30 minutes.
Once the tenderloin has rested for 10 minutes, slice it and serve with a dollop of the fig preserve on top.
- We used Mackay’s Fig Preserve. It was delicious!
Add a few slices of pineapple on the side, along with the coleslaw with banana peppers. As a suggested idea for leftovers: Combine the tenderloin with sauerkraut on the side. Or make a sandwich with the sliced tenderloin, cheese, mayonnaise, and lettuce. Or any other toppings of your choice.
