Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 strips bacon, cut into lardons
3 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 small pork filet mignon, about 10 ounces each
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup port wine
2 cups seedless red grapes
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, for garnish
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large dice
2 tablespoons heavy cream, warmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of ground cumin
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Grapes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cook the bacon lardon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and drain on a towel-lined plate. Reserve the bacon for the potatoes. Reserve the skillet with bacon fat to cook the pork.
  • Toast the fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind into a fine powder.
  • Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Return the large skillet with bacon fat to medium-high heat. Place the pork in the pan and cook on all sides until rich golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan, dust the pork with the toasted ground fennel seeds, and place on a sheet pan fitted with a rack. Roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F, about 14 minutes. Allow to rest 10 minutes until ready to serve.
  • Drain the fat from the skillet and place over medium-low heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt then pour in the port and scrape with a wooden spoon to release the bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the grapes and cook the grapes until they split and let out their juices, about 10 minutes.
  • Add half of the chicken stock, let it reduce slightly, then add the remaining stock and let cook until sauce is reduced by half and thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and re-season if needed.
  • For the Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Add the sweet potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return the cooked potatoes to the pot.
  • Add the heavy cream and butter and combine with a hand mixer until smooth. Mash with a potato masher. Add the brown sugar, heavy cream and cumin and mix with a spatula to combine. Season to taste with salt. Add the cayenne, cumin, light brown sugar, reserved bacon and some salt and fold to combine.
  • Slice the pork on a bias. Serve with the sweet potatoes and top with the grapes, sauce and chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin with a deep pink color and no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the right temperature: The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for well-done.
  • Let the pork rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender and slightly caramelized: This will bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides: Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This recipe for pork tenderloin with roasted sweet potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork is juicy and flavorful, and the sweet potatoes are roasted to perfection. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
