What's for Dinner May 20, 2009

Back on track for this week! Subbing for Pachi this Friday and the next, so look for that choreography as well.

Today I'm doing one 64 count block, courtesy of Step Junkie:

L-Step, x2 (16)
2 repeater walk back (17-24)
Glutes, x2 (25-32)
Lunges, x6 and exit at Home (1-16)
Mambo & 1 Jump Shot, x2 (17 - 32)

Have a cool intermission, one round lasts 16 counts

Start in a straddle position
Jump up on step (1-2)
Step down off step (3-4)
Bring hands down on step (5-6)
Shoot legs out (like a burpee) (7-8)
Pushup, 2 counts down, 2 counts up (9-12)
Jump feet back in to hands (13-14)
Stand up (15-16)

Grilled Pork with Blackberry-Sage Sauce

Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons minced shallots
3 cups fresh blackberries (about 1 pound)
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (1 1/2-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
Sage sprigs (optional)

Preparation

1. Prepare grill to medium heat.
2. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add shallots to pan; cook 3 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add blackberries, sage, and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until blackberries break down. Press blackberry mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl; discard solids. Return liquid to pan. Stir in vinegar and sugar; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 3/4 cup (about 9 minutes); remove from heat. Stir in butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring until butter melts. Keep warm.
3. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper over pork. Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cover and grill 20 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° (slightly pink), turning pork occasionally. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve with blackberry sauce; garnish with sage sprigs, if desired.

Yield
6 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces pork and 2 tablespoons sauce)
