PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND BOURBON



Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Bourbon image

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
2 shallots, thinly sliced
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 apples, such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, peeled, cored and sliced 1/2-inch thick
4 ounces bourbon
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Slice the pork tenderloin into 6 to 7 medallions that are 1/2-to 3/4-inch thick, depending on the shape of the tenderloin.
  • Combine the salt, coriander, fennel and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Spread the sliced pork medallions on a plate or baking sheet and season evenly on both sides with the salt mixture (you may not use it all).
  • Spread the flour on plate. Dip each of the pork medallions in the flour and pat off any of the excess.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook the pork medallions in batches, adding more oil and butter as needed, browning them well on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove to a rack to rest. It's ok if the pork is not cooked all the way through at this stage, it will finish cooking in the sauce.
  • When all the pork has been browned, pour off the fat in the pan into a small bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, thyme sprigs and some salt to the pan and cook until the shallots are softened and starting to get a little color, about 1 minute. Then add the apples and saute, stirring occasionally and adding more butter if necessary, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, add the bourbon and stir to cook off some of the alcohol. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Remove the thyme sprigs. Return the pork to the pan along with the chicken stock and season with salt. Simmer until well thickened and reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the pork and apples onto plates and drizzle with the sauce.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into medallions
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces butter
5 tablespoons bourbon whiskey, plus 1 extra tbsp

Steps:

  • Add the butter to the pan then turn the medallions over and cook for 1-2 minutes until browned on the other side. Transfer the pork to a warm plate and set aside.
  • Pour the Bourbon into the pan to deglaze, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any flavoursome brown bits stuck to the bottom of pan.
  • Tip in the onion and garlic, reduce the heat to medium and sweat for 5 minutes, without colouring, until softened and translucent.
  • Turn the heat back up to high, pour in the chicken stock and the soaked pearl barley and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer vigorously for 15-20 minutes or until the volume of liquid has reduced by half.
  • Pour in the cream and whisk in the mustard. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper then stir in the additional tablespoon of Bourbon and the chopped tarragon.
  • Tip the pork medallions into the sauce, along with any juices on the plate, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful dish, use a pork medallion that is at least 1 inch thick.
  • To get a nice sear on the pork, make sure the pan is hot before adding the meat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pork, or it will become dry and tough.
  • To make the sauce, use a good quality bourbon. A cheaper bourbon will not have as much flavor.
  • If you don't have any bourbon on hand, you can use another type of whiskey, such as rye or scotch.
  • The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve the pork.
  • Serve the pork medallions with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Spiced pork medallions with bourbon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
