APRICOT-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN



Apricot-Glazed Pork Tenderloin image

We know them as sweet spreads for toast. But jams and jellies, like this apricot spread, can do so much more.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pork tenderloins (about 12 ounces each), trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 jar (10 to 12 ounces) apricot jam, (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Heat broiler; set rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Rub pork with oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together jam and mustard. Cook over medium heat until jam melts, 3 to 4 minutes; remove from heat. Transfer half to a small bowl for brushing. Cover pan to keep remaining sauce warm.
  • Remove pork from broiler; brush with reserved sauce. Continue broiling until pork is blackened in spots and registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Cover pork loosely with foil; let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve drizzled with warm sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pork tenderloin: This will ensure that your dish is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the pork tenderloin overnight: This will help to infuse it with flavor and make it even more tender.
  • Cook the pork tenderloin over medium heat: This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the desired doneness: The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving: This will help to keep the juices in the meat.

Conclusion:

Apricot ginger pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork tenderloin is marinated in a mixture of apricot preserves, ginger, soy sauce, and garlic, then roasted in the oven until tender. The result is a flavorful and moist pork tenderloin that is sure to please everyone at the table.
