PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR-CRANBERRY SAUCE



Pork Tenderloin With Pear-Cranberry Sauce image

This is my own recipe. I scored some great locally raised pork tenderloin and some homemade maple syrup in the same week, and was inspired to create a recipe that used these and other regional ingredients. This recipe comes together very quickly. I made the sauce while the tenderloins were roasting and it took me less than 45 minutes from the time I started prepping ingredients to getting it on the table. By the way, I specify port, but sweet marsala or sherry should work (or substitute 2 Tbs of balsamic vinegar in 1/3 cup water for the 1/2 cup wine). Using >Bosc< pears is key because they won't break down when cooked. I served the tenderloins with buttermilk biscuits and lightly steamed green beans. And had a pint of Wolaver's brown ale to go with it all. Beauty!

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, chopped fine
4 bosc pears, peeled, cored and diced medium
1 cup cranberries
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup port wine (see substitution note above)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 -3 inches lemon peel
1 1/2-2 lbs pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add shallots. Cook just until softened.
  • Add pears, cranberries, syrup, juice, port, salt and lemon peel (leave the peel whole to make it easier to remove later). Bring to a very gentle simmer and reduce by about half to a syrupy consistency (8-10 minutes). The cranberries will break down a bit and the Bosc pears should soften but not turn to mush. Remove from heat, remove the peel and keep warm.
  • For the tenderloins: Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Dry the tenderloin and remove any excess fat and connective tissue (the silvery film often found around tenderloins will constrict when cooked and can make them curl up and wring out the moisture from the meat). Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke. Brown the tenderloins on all sides (about 10 minutes).
  • If you didn't use an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) then place the tenderloins in a baking dish. Place the skillet/dish in the oven and roast until the pork registers 135°F - about 10-15 minutes. Turn the tenderloins about halfway through the cooking time.
  • Transfer the tenderloins to a carving board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. They should reach an internal temperature of about 145-150°F.
  • Gently reheat the sauce for a few moments. Slice the tenderloin into 1" pieces and dress with the sauce.

Categories     Onion     Roast     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Cranberry     Pork Tenderloin     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 2, can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 8- to 10-ounce pork tenderloin
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/3 cup canned whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Sear pork on all sides, about 2 minutes. Place skillet with pork in oven. Roast pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 155°F, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and rosemary; sauté until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add broth, cranberry sauce and vinegar and whisk until cranberry sauce melts, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer pork to work surface. Scrape any juices from large skillet into cranberry mixture. Boil until sauce has reduced enough to coat spoon thickly, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Slice pork and serve with sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check its internal temperature. It should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius) for medium.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by cutting into it. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, or cooked through with no pink for medium.
  • To make a quick and easy cranberry sauce, simply combine cranberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have softened and the sauce has thickened.
  • If you want a more flavorful cranberry sauce, you can add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. You can also add a splash of orange juice or Grand Marnier for a bit of sweetness and complexity.
  • Pork tenderloin is a versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. In addition to roasting, you can also grill, pan-fry, or braise it.

Conclusion:

Pork tenderloin with cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, while the cranberry sauce is tart and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
