Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
4 apples, peeled and cut into 8 pieces each
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 ½ cups apple cider
1 lime, juiced
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
⅛ teaspoon garam masala
salt and ground black pepper to taste
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix together 1 tablespoon ginger, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create a rub. Rub combined seasonings on all sides of the pork tenderloins, using the entire amount.
  • Place apples and sweet potatoes in the bottom of the prepared pan; dot with butter.
  • Mix together apple cider, lime juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon chili powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour over apples and sweet potatoes and place tenderloins on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Ladle cooking liquid over apples and sweet potatoes, turn tenderloins over, and continue baking until pork is slightly pink at the center, about 20 minutes longer. A meat thermometer placed in the center of the thickest tenderloin should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Remove apples and sweet potatoes to a serving platter using a slotted spoon. Place tenderloins on top and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Pour cooking liquid from the baking dish into a 1-quart saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until liquid comes to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by one half, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drizzle sauce over pork, apples, and sweet potatoes. Slice tenderloins and serve.

PERFECT ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES



Perfect Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples image

The trick to flavorful and moist pork tenderloin is to sear the pork before roasting. In our recipe, the pork is seared and then is baked on top a bed of apples and onions. Most often, you will find that pork tenderloins are sold in packages with two tenderloins. One tenderloin should generously serve 2 people and most likely serve 3. One note, "pork tenderloins" and "pork loin" are two different cuts of meat. Pork tenderloins are much thinner and take less time to cook.

Categories     Dinner, Entree

Time 50m

Yield Makes 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 1/2-pounds each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 apples, cored and sliced (we like Granny Smith, Golden Delicious or Braeburn)
2 onions, sliced
1 cup chicken stock, see our homemade chicken stock recipe
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Trim each tenderloin of any silver skin (this can be tough when cooked). To do this, use a small sharp knife and slide the blade under and outward to remove it.
  • Pat pork dry with paper towels and then rub with one tablespoon of the oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmers, add the pork tenderloins and cook, occasionally turning, until evenly browned all over; about 12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate or cutting board. (The pork will not be cooked through).
  • Keep the pan used to sear the pork on the stove over medium heat. Check the pan, if it looks dry, add two to three teaspoons of additional oil. (If there is fat left in the pan from cooking the pork, there is no need to add extra oil).
  • Add the apples and onions then cook, occasionally stirring, until lightly browned around edges, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of thyme.
  • Use a pastry brush (or use your fingers) to rub the seared pork all over with the mustard, 2 teaspoons of thyme, and the black pepper. Place the seared pork tenderloins on top of the apples and onions, and then slide into the oven.
  • Roast 10 to 15 minutes or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 145 and 150 degrees F. Transfer the pork to a large plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest about 10 minutes.
  • While the pork rests, place the pan with apples and onions back onto the stove and turn heat to medium. Add chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape the pan, lifting any brown bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Add butter and stir until melted.
  • To serve, slice pork into 1-inch slices then serve on a bed of the apples and onions with pan sauce drizzled on top.

APPLE ROSEMARY PORK TENDERLOIN



Apple Rosemary Pork Tenderloin image

This roast is by far the best tenderloin recipe I've ever made. The sweetness imparted from the gravy and the apple flavor is quite different from what is typically expected from a pork roast. The apple and onion mixture cooked with the roast makes an excellent side dish with a little of the gravy over the top.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme

5 tablespoons brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup maple syrup

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Place roast in a roasting pan, elevated from the bottom, and pour marinade around the meat. Bake for 1 hour in preheated oven.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or more as needed
3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced into eighths

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup chicken stock

  • Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and place pork onto a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest.
  • Meanwhile, pour chicken stock into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the skillet containing apple mixture.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 1/2-pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 cup pearled farro
1 1/4 cups unsweetened apple cider

1/2 small head escarole, roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large braiser or Dutch oven over high heat. Pat the pork dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add to the pot and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the red onion to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 3 minutes.

  • Stir the apple into the farro mixture. Bake until most of the liquid evaporates and the farro and apples are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the thyme sprigs from the farro and stir in the escarole to wilt. Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick medallions. Serve the sliced pork over the farro and apples, topped with the parsley.
