6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloins (about 2 large), trimmed
1 large shallot, minced
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or stock
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons minced shallot or onion
1/2 cup wine
1/2 cup low-sodium broth or stock
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter or heavy cream
Vinegar or lemon juice, to taste
Fresh herbs or other aromatics
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Add the broth or stock and continue cooking until the sauce has reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup (4 oz) crumbled blue cheese (preferably an aged Gorgonzola)
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped dried cherries
3 tablespoons chopped pecans
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 pork tenderloins (1 lb each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 400°F.
  • In 8-inch skillet, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add onion and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat and cool about 5 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, stir cheese vigorously with spoon. Stir in cooled onion mixture, cherries, pecans and thyme; set aside.
  • Place 1 pork piece on work surface with short side facing you. Use knife to slit in half lengthwise without going all the way through. Open pork like a book. Repeat with remaining pork. Spread half of the cheese mixture in center of each pork piece. Close up pork and tie with kitchen twine to secure. Season outside with salt and pepper.
  • In 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot. Add pork and cook about 4 minutes or until browned. Flip, being careful not to open them up, and cook about 4 minutes longer. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in the thickest part of pork.
  • Place skillet in oven and roast 10 to 15 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 155°F. Remove from oven and allow to rest, loosely covered with foil, about 5 minutes (temperature will continue to rise to 160°F). Slice each pork piece into 6 pieces. (If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, after browning pork in skillet, carefully place them in foil-lined 13x9-inch pan and then place in oven.)

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly seared pork tenderloin, pat the meat dry before searing. This will help create a crispy outer layer.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil or avocado oil for searing the pork tenderloin. These oils can withstand high heat without burning.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the pork tenderloin will not sear properly.
  • Allow the pork tenderloin to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • For the blue cheese sauce, use a high-quality blue cheese that is crumbly and flavorful. Avoid using a blue cheese that is too soft or spreadable.
  • If you do not have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • To make the blue cheese sauce ahead of time, simply prepare the sauce according to the recipe and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Seared pork tenderloin with blue cheese sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the blue cheese sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
