PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GLAZED SWEET ONIONS



Pork Tenderloin With Glazed Sweet Onions image

Some onions become milder and gain sweetness as they cook. Although the recipe calls for Vidalia onions you can use any sweet onion in this recipe. I usually cook my tenderloin on the bbq but did this one in the oven. My DD prefers it done this way.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large vidalia onions or 2 large other sweet onions, sliced
2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots or 1/2 cup golden raisin
salt and pepper
2 lbs pork tenderloin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Melt butter in large frying pan and add the sliced onions and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, raisins or apricots and salt and pepper to taste and cook until the onions are tender and glazed, about 3 minutes.

Tips for Cooking Roasted Sweet Vidalia Pork Loin:

  • Choose a high-quality pork loin. Look for a pork loin that is firm to the touch and has a light pink color. Avoid pork loin that is excessively fatty or has any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Score the pork loin before roasting. This will help the meat cook more evenly and allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate deeper.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is a delicious combination of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors that will enhance the taste of the pork loin.
  • Roast the pork loin at a high temperature initially. This will help to sear the outside of the meat and lock in the juices. Then, reduce the temperature to finish cooking the pork loin slowly and evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork loin is cooked to the proper temperature. The pork loin is considered safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Roasted Sweet Vidalia Pork Loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pork loin is cooked to perfection and is infused with the flavors of the sweet and tangy marinade. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
