After tiring of the same old pork tenderloin recipe I had to find something creative to do with pork. Searching through Canadian Living magazine recipes online I found and tried a great recipe. I have posted a modified version below.
Pork Tenderloin with Onions and Apples
3 onions, halved and sliced
1 apple, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 pork tenderloin
pepper and salt, to taste
2 cups organic beef stock
1/2 cup apple juice
2 tsp corn starch, mixed in 2 tbsp. cool water
Start by sautéing onions in a small pan with 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Slowly sauté them until they start to brown, once they start to brown add apple slices and sauté about 10 minutes more. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp. oil in oven proof skillet and salt and pepper pork tenderloin. Brown on all sides. Once browned, place tenderloin in oven and roast at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until juices run clear, depending on size the pork tenderloin may take more or less time.
Once the pork has finished roasting remove from the oven and place on cutting board, wrap with foil to rest. While pork is resting, add apple juice and beef broth to sauté pan, season with salt to taste and boil to reduce by about half. When reduced add corn starch and water to thicken. Serve pork sliced over onion mixture, with gravy.
The whole family loved this recipe. I served the kids without the onions and apple but I did include the gravy. I am trying it for a second time tonight. My husband especially loved it. It is definitely a weekend recipe because of the multiple dishes it takes to cook but worth it. I served it with roasted baby potatoes and broccoli.
