Instructions
- 1Make the glazed pork: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium. Add onion and garlic; cook stirring often, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add guava paste and water; cook, stirring often, until the paste has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, ketchup, and cayenne. Season with salt.
- 2Set the pork tenderloins in a 9- x 13-inch glass baking dish and brush them all over with half of the guava glaze.
- 3Preheat a grill or heat a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the pork, turning and brushing with the remaining glaze, until browned on all sides and internal temperature registers 140°F, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- 4Make the salsa: Stir together cilantro, oil, vinegar, onion, chives, jalapeños and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt to taste.
- 5Thinly slice the pork. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve with the salsa.
