Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 thumb Ginger
2 clove Garlic
2 unit Scallions
1 unit Shallot
1 unit Chicken Stock Concentrate
½ cup Jasmine Rice
12 ounce Pork Tenderloin
1 tablespoon Fry Seasoning
2 tablespoon Apricot Jam
5 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
6 ounce Green Beans
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
2 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
3 tablespoon Butter
Kosher Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and dry all produce (except for green beans). Peel and mince or grate ginger. Mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve, peel, and mince half the shallot (mince whole shallot for 4).
  • Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and scallion whites; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add half the stock concentrate and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes.
  • Pat pork dry with paper towels; season all over with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp Fry Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings- we sent more). Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wash out pan.
  • Melt 1 TBSP butter in same pan over medium-high heat. Add minced shallot and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in jam and vinegar. Simmer until syrupy, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pierce green bean bag with a fork; place bag on a plate. Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. (TIP: No microwave? No problem!

  • Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Stir any resting juices from pork into pan with glaze. Slice pork crosswise into medallions. Divide rice, pork, and green beans between plates. Drizzle pork with glaze. Top everything with scallion greens and soy sauce to taste.

BEST BALSAMIC MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN



Best Balsamic Marinated Pork Tenderloin image

Balsamic marinated pork tenderloin with garlic, rosemary, and honey. I found this recipe a few years ago and it is indeed a keeper. Enjoy.

Provided by maryjmohler

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Time 6h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons honey
fine sea salt to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • Whisk balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, honey, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag and pour balsamic mixture on top to coat. Squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Place the bag in a container to avoid leaks, and marinate in the refrigerator 6 to 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Remove pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Place pork in a roasting pan or baking dish. Reserve marinade.
  • Roast pork in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork from the oven, place on a cutting board, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10-20 minutes.
  • While pork is resting, pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with the roasted tenderloin.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a high-quality balsamic vinegar. A good balsamic vinegar will have a thick, syrupy consistency and a complex flavor profile with notes of sweetness, acidity, and fruitiness.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. However, the flavor of the sauce will be different.
  • Be sure to cook the pork tenderloin to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still tender and juicy.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork by cutting into it. The pork is cooked through when the juices run clear.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Apricot balsamic pork tenderloin with sesame crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. The pork is tender and juicy, the sauce is sweet and tangy, and the sesame crust adds a nice crunch. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
