Give pork tenderloin an aromatic makeover with this unique mustard seed crust that creates stunning visual appeal and incredible flavor. The seeds create a distinctive peppery crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender meat inside. Simple to prepare yet striking in presentation, this dish requires minimal ingredients for maximum impact. Brushing with butter before serving adds a beautiful shine for an elegant finish. Perfect for dinner parties or special family meals.
Ingredients
2 pork tenderloins (each about 3/4 pound) 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper 5 to 6 teaspoons mustard seed 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine Dijon mustard Salt to taste
Directions
With a small sharp knife, trim surface fat and the thin silvery membrane from tenderloins; rinse meat and pat dry. Sprinkle evenly with pepper. Put mustard seed in a pan longer than the tenderloins; roll meat in seeds until heavily coated. At this point the tenderloins can be covered and chilled as long as overnight. Place seed-coated meat on a heated grill. Cook meat about 15 to 20 minutes, or until only slightly pink in the center of the thickest part (cut to test), or until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees. Turn often to keep browning uniform. Transfer to a carving board and brush seeds with melted butter to make shiny. Slice meat across the grain and serve with mustard and salt to taste.
