PORK WITH ORANGE SAUCE



Pork With Orange Sauce image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds country-style pork ribs, or boneless steaks cut from shoulder, about 3/4 to 1 inch thick
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 shallot, minced
Vinegar or fresh lemon or lime juice, if necessary
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees or heat broiler, adjusting rack so that it is about 4 inches from heat source. Put an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold pork in one layer on stove top and turn heat to high. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Brown meat quickly on both sides, then transfer skillet to oven or broiler.
  • Meanwhile, combine orange juice, cayenne, cumin and shallots in a small saucepan and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until it reduces to about 1/3 cup; taste and add salt as necessary, a touch more cayenne and cumin if you like, and some vinegar or lemon juice if sauce lacks acidity.
  • If broiling, turn meat once; if roasting, don't bother. When meat is firm but not tough and a little pink in center (about 10 minutes if broiling, 15 if roasting), remove it to a platter. Combine orange rind with parsley. Spoon sauce over meat, then top with orange rind-parsley mixture. Serve.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 -1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
seasoning salt, to taste
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon arrowroot (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, season the pork tenderloin with seasoning salt, place in roasting dish and place in preheated oven; back for 20 to 25 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees.
  • Remove meat from oven and cover with foil, allow to stand while making sauce.
  • In a small skillet, add the juice, broth, ketchup, honey and orange zest; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe oranges with a sweet and juicy flesh. Avoid oranges that are too sour or bitter.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: The zest contains a lot of the orange's flavor, so be sure to zest the oranges before you juice them. You can use a microplane zester or a vegetable peeler to remove the zest.
  • Use a good quality pork chop: The quality of the pork chop will have a big impact on the final dish, so be sure to use a good quality chop that is at least 1-inch thick.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. Be sure to cook them until they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Make the sauce while the pork chops are cooking: This will help to save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready when the pork chops are done.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with the orange sauce: The pork chops are best served immediately with the orange sauce, so that the sauce can stay hot and flavorful.
