Fig and Balsamic Pork Tenderloin image

A delicious, one-pan pork tenderloin dinner, with an easy fig jam and balsamic vinegar pan sauce. Roast some mini potatoes right alongside the pork, if you like.

Provided by Jennifer

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb. pork tenderloin (approximately)
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Mini potatoes (optional)
For the sauce:
1/2 Tbsp butter
2 shallots (finely diced or about 3 Tbsp finely diced red or white onion)
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 Tbsp fig jam (or fig spread)
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Pinch Thyme leaves (fresh or dried)
Salt/Pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F. Grease a cast-iron skillet with a bit of oil and set aside. (Alternately, you can use a rimmed baking sheet. Brush some oil on the baking sheet, as well).
  • Prepare the pork tenderloin by removing any visible fat and removing the silverskin. Brush pork with balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Place into a prepared pan or baking sheet, placing it along the side or at the end, if cooking potatoes alongside. Tuck the thin end of the tenderloin under, so that the pork is evenly thick from end to end.
  • (If cooking potatoes alongside, halve or cube the potatoes, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place into the skillet or onto the baking sheet, cut side down.)
  • Place into preheat oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork registers 145F when measured with an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are golden.
  • Remove from oven. Remove the potatoes to a bowl and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Remove the pork to a plate to rest while you make the sauce.
  • In the same skillet you used to cook the pork (or a fresh skillet if you cooked on a baking sheet), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots or onion and cook, stirring until softened. Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar and fig jam. Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, until sauce reduces and thickens. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Add a few thyme leaves to the sauce, if using.
  • Return pork to the pan and re-warm, flipping it over a couple of times to coat with sauce. Remove pork to a plate and spoon warm sauce over-top or alternately, slice pork, then spoon sauce over-top. Serve with roasted potatoes.

PANKO-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG GLAZE



Panko-Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Fig Glaze image

I always seem to have a jar of fig butter in my fridge for charcuterie boards. This recipe puts it to use in new ways -- to coat the pork tenderloin before rolling in panko and simmered in a buttery glaze to serve alongside the pork. If you don't have fig butter, it's absolutely worth buying a jar! The flavors pair beautifully with the pork.

Provided by Gabriela Rodiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups panko
2 1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons fig butter or fig spread
2 pork tenderloins (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total), excess fat and silver skin removed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a medium skillet, combine the panko, 2 teaspoons of the herbes de Provence, 2 teaspoons salt, several grinds black pepper and the olive oil. Toast the panko over medium heat watching carefully and stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Prepare your breading station with three shallow baking dishes or plates big enough to fit the pork: Put the flour in one dish. Whisk the eggs with the 2 tablespoons fig butter in the second dish. Transfer the toasted panko to the third dish.
  • Season each pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat each in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg and fig mixture. Coat with the panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Insert a probe thermometer into the middle of one tenderloin (or use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature after the suggested roasting time). Bake until cooked through and reaches 145 degrees F on the thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • About 5 minutes before the pork is done, make the fig glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup fig butter with 1/3 cup water, the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened but still pourable, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until the butter melts and creates a shiny glaze.
  • Slice the pork and serve with the fig glaze on the side.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC AND FIG



Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic and Fig image

Adding fig preserves and balsamic vinegar to bacon-wrapped pork gives you the perfect sweet-salty combo of flavors that is impressive enough to serve guests. Best of all, it's ready in about 20 minutes. Be sure to use a tenderloin and not a loin - they are not the same size-wise and require very different cook times. I love to serve this with roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potatoes. Do not use thick-cut bacon, as it will not cook thoroughly.

Provided by France C

Categories     Pork Tenderloin

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ¼ pounds pork tenderloin
8 slices center-cut bacon
¼ cup fig preserves
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
  • On a clean work surface, lay bacon slices side by side, overlapping them slightly. Brush fig preserves on one side of the bacon. Place pork tenderloin on bottom end of the bacon slices and roll up so that tenderloin is wrapped in bacon. Place tenderloin, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and remove pork tenderloin from oven.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Brush balsamic glaze all over the pork and return to the oven to broil until pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving

  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar. However, balsamic vinegar will give the dish the best flavor.
  • To get the most flavor out of the figs, roast them in the oven before adding them to the dish.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, simmer it for a few minutes longer until it reduces.
