Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins 1.5 lb each
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 2-3 apples, cored and sliced (I used Granny Smith)
- 2 onions, sliced
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425⁰ F.
- Use paper towel to pat pork tenderloin dry, then use a sharp knife to remove the silverskin.
- Rub pork with 1 tablespoon oil and the salt.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in cast iron or another oven-safe skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until oil shimmers. Sear pork on all sides until golden brown,about 12 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, chop 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, core, peel and slice 2 apples and slice 2 onions.
- Once pork is browned, remove and set aside. Add in apples and onions, cooking for 5 minutes, then add in thyme.
- Add pork back to pan on top of the apple and onion mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145⁰ F.
- Remove pork to cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile place skillet back on stove-top over medium heat. Add chicken stock, scraping any bits of deliciousness from the bottom of the pan. Bring mixture to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half. Add in butter, stir until incorporated into sauce.
- Slice, pour sauce over pork, and serve immediately.
