SAUTéED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PRUNES

Categories     Milk/Cream     Pork     Sauté     Dinner     Prune     Pork Tenderloin     White Wine     Fall     Winter     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dry or semisweet white wine
1/2 pound pitted prunes
2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
Salt
Pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons meat glaze (see below)
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, pour the wine over the prunes and let soak for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Trim the silver skin off the tenderloins. Cut the tenderloins into rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Season the rounds on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a sauté pan just large enough to hold the rounds, heat the olive oil over high heat. When it smokes, add the pork rounds and brown, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they feel firm to the touch. If they start to get too brown, turn down the heat. Transfer the pork rounds to a warmed platter and set aside in a warm spot. Pour the fat out of the pan.
  • Drain the prunes, reserving the wine and prunes separately. Measure out 1/2 cup of the wine. Return the pan to high heat and add the 1/2 cup wine and the prunes. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, then stir in the meat glaze, if using. Boil until the wine is reduced by about half; if you have added the glaze, the sauce will develop a lightly syrupy consistency. Add the cream and boil until reduced to a light sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the pork rounds on warmed plates and spoon the sauce and prunes over the top.

PORK MARBELLA



Pork Marbella image

We took the classic, beloved Chicken Marbella recipe from The Silver Palate Cookbook and made it weeknight-friendly by using quick-cooking pork tenderloin instead.

Provided by Adam Rapoport

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Pork     Pork Tenderloin     Olive     Prune     Capers     Roast     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (1-lb.) pork tenderloins
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup dry white wine
½ cup pitted prunes, torn in half
½ cup pitted Spanish green olives
⅓ cup (packed) light brown sugar
¼ cup capers, plus 1 Tbsp. caper brine
¼ cup red wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves, peeled, smashed
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
¼ cup plus 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
¼ cup chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Season pork with salt. Let sit 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix wine, prunes, olives, brown sugar, capers and brine, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl to combine; set sauce aside (or use it to marinate pork up to 12 hours).
  • Place a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and let sit 1 minute so pan can cool down a bit. Pour reserved sauce over pork and give pan a few shakes. Transfer to oven and roast pork, basting with sauce halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of tenderloin registers 145°F, 22-26 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Return pan to medium-high heat. Add butter to sauce and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is melted and sauce is slightly reduced, 3-5 minutes. Stir in parsley if using.
  • Slice tenderloin crosswise against the grain. Transfer to a platter and spoon pan sauce over.

Tips:

  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the pork medallions in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, thyme, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • To ensure that the pork medallions are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have prunes on hand, you can substitute dried apricots, raisins, or cranberries.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the pork medallions and add extra vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Serve the sauteed pork medallions with prunes over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Sauteed pork medallions with prunes is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The pork medallions are tender and juicy, and the prunes add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of sides. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy pork recipe, give sauteed pork medallions with prunes a try.
