Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

CIDER GLAZE
4 c apple cider
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground allspice
4 Tbsp honey
PORK TENDERLOIN
2-3 lb pork tenderloin, cleaned
1 c cider glaze
2 Tbsp sea salt (or kosher salt)
4 tsp ground sage
1 cedar plank (7" x 16" grilling plank - usually found near meat section)

Steps:

  • 1. For the Cider Glaze: Combine and mix all ingredients together. Place into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer. Reduce to 1 cup glaze. Remove from heat and hold until needed.
  • 2. ***NOTE**** If using the cedar plank, be sure to soak it in water for several hours before putting in oven!!!!******** Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3. Clean any excess fat and all of the silverskin from the pork tenderloin. Baste the entire tenderloin with 1/2 cup of the cider glaze. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of sage on the top side and place it on the plank (or lay in roasting pan with some chicken stock or water)
  • 4. Place the plank (or pan) in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the plank from the oven, turn the roast over and baste with the remaining cider glaze. Season with 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of sage. Place back in the oven and roast for another 25-40 minutes or until internal temperature of 150 degrees has been reached. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve!
  • 5. I like to make a little extra glaze to drizzle over the meat when served or to add to the side for dipping (like an au jus).

ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND CIDER SAUCE



Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Cider Sauce image

Categories     Fruit Juice     Fruit     Pork     Roast     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Vinegar     Apple     Pork Tenderloin     Fall     Healthy     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (3/4-pound) pork tenderloins
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 (1/2-pound) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 16 wedges
1 cup low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2/3 cup unfiltered apple cider
1/2 teaspoon arrowroot
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Pat tenderloins dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown tenderloins on all sides, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes total. (If the handle of your skillet is not ovenproof, wrap handle in a triple layer of foil, shiny side out.) Transfer skillet to upper third of oven and roast until a thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 155°F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes before slicing.
  • While meat is standing, heat butter in same skillet (handle will be hot) over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Add apple wedges and sauté, turning occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate, then add chicken broth and cider to skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat and meanwhile whisk together arrowroot and water in a small bowl. Whisk arrowroot mixture into sauce and boil until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, measured salt and pepper, and any juices that have accumulated on platter.
  • Cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve topped with apples and sauce.

Tips:

  • Selecting a quality pork tenderloin is crucial for a tender and flavorful dish. Choose a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a pinkish-red color.
  • To achieve a perfect sear on the pork tenderloin, ensure that your skillet is very hot before adding the meat. This will help create a golden brown crust while keeping the inside moist and juicy.
  • Using a meat thermometer is essential to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
  • Allowing the pork tenderloin to rest for a few minutes before slicing will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and succulent dish.
  • The apple cider au jus adds a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity to the pork tenderloin. Feel free to adjust the amount of apple cider or chicken broth to achieve your desired flavor profile.

Conclusion:

Pork tenderloin with apple cider au jus is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for special occasions or casual weeknight dinners. The tender and juicy pork tenderloin pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy au jus, making it a dish that will impress your taste buds. With careful attention to technique and a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.
