I love grilled pineapple. The grill heightens its flavor while adding a little smoke and char. Pair this with grilled mini peppers whose flavor mellows on the grill, and you have a knockout flavor combo for Pork Tenderloin Sliders.
These Hawaiian inspired sliders pair Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin with grilled pineapple, grilled peppers, and Sriracha mayo on King’s Hawaiian rolls for a spectacular flavor combination of sweet, slightly spicy and creamy in every bite.
The best part is that they can be grilled and on the dinner table in less than 30 minutes! Hooray!
By slicing the tenderloin into filets, you cut down on grill time without sacrificing flavor.
I’m partnering with my friends at Smithfield on their “Real Flavor Real Fast” campaign to help create recipes that you can make in less than 30 minutes! I’m a working mom with a wild 2 year old so I appreciate recipes that can be made in a snap without sacrificing flavor! Notice I’ve sliced the tenderloin into filets before grilling to cut down on grilling time. It yields tasty results in half the time!
Grilled pineapple is one of my favorite ingredients for all kinds of dishes. Any leftovers from this recipe are great on a salad the next day!
Hawaiian Grilled Pineapple and Pepper Pork Tenderloin Sliders
- Yield: Serves 4, 2 sliders per person 1x
Ingredients
- 1 Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin1 large pack Kings Hawaiian Rolls
- 1 small bag mini peppers
- 1 pineapple, cored and sliced into rings (you can also use canned pineapple)
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 tbsp Sriracha
Instructions
Preheat your grill to 350 degrees preparing a direct and indirect zone. While the grill is heating up, slice your pork tenderloin into 3/4” filets.
Coat your grill grates with a little oil so the food does not stick (make sure to do this especially before grilling the pork filets).
Grill the pineapple and peppers until char marks have formed and they have begun to caramelize. Remove and let cool.
Next, grill the pork tenderloin filets- about 5 minutes max, or until the internal temp reads 145 degrees with an internal read thermometer (I recommend the thermapen).
On the indirect side, toast the rolls very quickly being careful to not let them burn.
Slice the peppers and then combine the mayo with the sriracha and spread on the buns. Now, assemble your sliders with the tenderloin, pineapple and peppers.
The sweetness of the pineapple and peppers in this recipe really compliment the spice of the Black Pepper marinated pork tenderloin, don’t be surprised that you’ll go back for seconds or thirds!
