Pork Tenderloin

Seasoned Brown Rice

Cotija Pesto

Method

Cooking the Pork Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together cumin, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the Kurobuta pork tenderloin.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Grill or roast the pork tenderloin for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Making Street Corn Off the Cob

  1. 3

    Cook the Corn

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the corn kernels and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Stir in mayonnaise, lime juice, Cotija cheese, and chili powder. Remove from heat.

Preparing Seasoned Brown Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine brown rice, vegetable broth, minced garlic, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until rice is tender.

Making Cotija Pesto

  1. 5

    Blend the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine cilantro, Cotija cheese, olive oil, minced garlic, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, layer the seasoned brown rice, followed by the street corn off the cob, sliced pork tenderloin, and drizzle the Cotija pesto on top. Garnish with pepitas and chopped cilantro.
