1 18.4 ounce Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium apples (peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces)
2 small sweet potatoes (peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces)

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Place olive oil in a large oven-safe pan (such as a cast iron skillet or a Dutch oven) and heat over medium-high heat.
  • While oil is heating in the pan, peel and chop apples, potatoes, and onion.
  • When the oil in the skillet is hot, add apples, sweet potatoes, and onion. Stir for about 1 minute, and then push to the outsides of the pan to make room for the pork.

ASIAN-MARINATED PORK LOIN WITH GINGERED SWEET POTATOES AND FIVE-SPICE APPLES



Asian-Marinated Pork Loin with Gingered Sweet Potatoes and Five-Spice Apples image

Every element in this dish complements the others. The pork, brined to ensure moistness, is ideally set off by the spicy, slightly sweet potatoes, whose warm flavors are echoed by the lightly caramelized apples. This is pork, sweet potatoes and applesauce - that favorite American triumvirate - from an East-West point of view.

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 33

4 cups water
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted Szechwan peppercorns
1 tablespoon toasted black peppercorns, plus freshly ground black pepper
4 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh ginger
2 star anise
2 bay leaves
1 4-pound pork loin
2 tablespoons canola oil
Gingered Sweet Potatoes (recipe follows)
Five-Spice Apples (recipe follows)
1/4 cup chives cut into 1-inch lengths, for garnish
2 tablespoons Chile Oil, for garnish (recipe follows)
6 tablespoons butter
6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup apple juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chile powder, such as ancho, chimayo, or pasilla
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups canola oil

Steps:

  • One day in advance, combine the water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, peppercorns, ginger, anise, and bay leaves in a deep baking dish large enough to hold the pork and stir to mix. Add the pork; if it is not covered, add more water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse the pork thoroughly with cold water, pat dry, and season with the ground pepper to taste. Heat a large skillet over high heat, add the oil, and swirl to caot the bottom of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the pork and brown on all sides. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and roast just until the pork is hot through to the center (about 125 degrees F internal temperature), 25 to 30 minutes. The interior of the pork will remain pink.
  • Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Divide the gingered sweet potatoes among 4 plates, surround with the pork, and add the five-spice apples. Garnish with the chives, drizzle with the chile oil, and serve.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and saute, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream and reduce by one-third over low heat, about 10 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover them completely. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until they can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and trasnfer to a food processor. Add the cream and process until well blended. Add the remaining butter, season with salt and pepper, and puree until smooth. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, correct the seasonings, and serve.
  • For the Five-Spice Apples: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the onion and saute, stirring, until brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the five-spice powder, brown sugar, apples, and juice. Stir, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 12 minutes. The apples should retain their shape and some liquid should remain in the pan; do not overcook. Stir in the butter and correct the seasonings. Serve warm.
  • For the Chile Oil: In a medium skillet, combine the chile powder, cumin, and salt, and heat over medium heat just until the mixture begins to smoke. Whisk in the oil and remove from the stove.
  • Allow the chile oil to cool, transfer it to a glass jar, and let stand overnight. Cover and use or store. The oil will separate from the solids; use the red oil only.

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork tenderloin is done by cutting into it. The meat should be pink in the center but not bloody.
  • For a sweeter dish, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji. For a tarter dish, use tarter apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
  • If you don't have sweet potatoes, you can use regular potatoes or another type of root vegetable, such as carrots or parsnips.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cut apples and sweet potatoes.
  • This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
