Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, minced, plus 2 whole heads garlic
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 large Bosc pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the pork all over with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil; add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the butter, thyme, parsley, rosemary and minced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a piece of wax paper or parchment.
  • Brush the pork with the mustard and roll in the toasted breadcrumbs to coat. Return the coated pork to the center of the skillet. Halve the garlic heads crosswise, then add to a large bowl with the pears, onion, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Toss until evenly combined, then add to the skillet surrounding the pork. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pork and garlic to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the skillet with the roasted pears and onions over medium-low heat. Add the vinegar and cook until almost all the vinegar has been absorbed and the pears look glossy, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more chopped parsley. Slice the pork and serve with the roasted garlic, pears and onions.

Flambeed Vanilla-Poached Pears with Apricot Sauce image

This is a great dessert for a fancy party or a girl's night in! I love pears, and I love this recipe, because lighting the rum on fire caramelizes the sugar, and pulls out the flavor of the pears. I served this dish to a rich couple and got a hefty tip back, so I figured it must have been good!

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEARS AND GINGER-BEER SAUCE



Pork Tenderloin With Pears and Ginger-Beer Sauce image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 pork tenderloins
2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
8 medium-size red-skinned potatoes, quartered
15 Seckel pears, peeled, stemmed and cored through the bottom
2 cups ginger beer

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a flameproof, ovenproof roasting pan. Season the pork with 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper, and place in the pan. Cook until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. Add the potatoes to the pan and season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Add the pears to the pan and roast with the potatoes for 5 minutes longer. Push the potatoes and pears to the edge of the pan and place the pork tenderloins in the center. Roast until the pork is only slightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove the pork, potatoes and pears from the pan and place the pan over medium heat. Add the ginger beer and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan. Let reduce to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut the pork into inch-thick slices. Divide the pork, potatoes and pears among 4 plates and spoon sauce over each. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Score the pork tenderloin: Scoring the pork tenderloin helps the marinade penetrate the meat and cook it more evenly. To score the pork tenderloin, use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts about 1/2-inch deep all over the surface of the meat.
  • Marinate the pork tenderloin: Marinating the pork tenderloin helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as the one provided in the recipe. Be sure to marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin: Searing the pork tenderloin helps to create a crispy crust and lock in the juices. To sear the pork tenderloin, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Transfer the pork tenderloin to the oven: After searing the pork tenderloin, transfer it to a baking dish. Roast the pork tenderloin in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the flambé sauce: While the pork tenderloin is roasting, make the flambé sauce. To make the flambé sauce, melt some butter in a saucepan. Add the shallots and cook until softened. Add the brandy and cook until it has reduced by half. Add the chicken broth and cream and bring to a simmer. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Flambé the pork tenderloin: Once the pork tenderloin is cooked, remove it from the oven and place it on a serving dish. Pour the flambé sauce over the pork tenderloin and ignite it with a match. Let the sauce flame for a few seconds, then extinguish it.

Conclusion:

Pork tenderloin flambé with pears is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork tenderloin is tender and juicy, the pears are sweet and caramelized, and the flambé sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
