Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 pork tenderloin (1 to 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/3 cup teriyaki glaze
- 1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into thick rings
- 1 1/2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese (about 6 ounces)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the pizza dough on the sheet and turn it to coat in oil; leave it aside to come to room temperature.
- Cut the pork tenderloin lengthwise almost all the way through, then open it like a book and flatten by hand. Season with salt and pepper, then brush with 2 tablespoons of teriyaki glaze. Coat the pineapple slices and onion rings with olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Oil the grill grates lightly. Place pineapple and onion on one side of the grill and pork on the other. Grill pineapple and onion until tender and slightly charred, about 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer them to a plate. Cook pork until done, about 6 minutes per side; move to a cutting board.
- Stretch the pizza dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. Lower the grill heat to low; set the dough directly on the grill and cook until the top puffs and the bottom chars, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the dough, add the cheese on top, cover, and cook until the crust is fully baked and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Chop the pineapple and pork into bite-sized pieces; scatter them with the onion over the crust. Drizzle remaining teriyaki glaze on top and sprinkle with cilantro. Slice and serve.
