Ingredients
- 500gr\17oz pork tenderloins (also called pork fillet)
- to taste salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp. canola or vegetable oil
- 100gr\3.5 oz wine, broth, apple cider or a combination
- 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
Preparation
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Trim each tenderloin of any silver skin (this can be tough when cooked. Use a small sharp knife and slide the blade under and outward to remove it). Pat pork dry with paper towels. Then generously season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed oven-safe frying pan over medium heat. Add the pork tenderloins and cook, occasionally turning, until browned all over, about 2 minutes per side. Scatter the seasoning blend or herbs over the pork.
- Roast 10 to 15 minutes or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 145 and 150 degrees F.
- Transfer pork to a large plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest for about 10 minutes. While pork is resting, place the skillet back over medium heat. Add the apple cider and simmer until reduced by half. Add butter then serve drizzled over pork.
- When is Pork Tenderloin Done?
- We cook our pork to 145 degrees F. This means the pork will be barely pink in the middle, safe to eat, and ultra juicy. You can cook pork tenderloin to anywhere between 145 degrees F and 160 degrees F. Just keep in mind that keeping it as close to 145 degrees F will result in the juiciest, most tender piece of meat.
- Serve with boiled vegetables of your choice.
