Pan-Seared Pork Tenderloin with Apples
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounce pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 apple cored and cut into ½-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup chicken stock or vegetable broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Cut pork tenderloin into 8 pieces, like "steaks," about 4 inches wide. Season both sides of medallions with salt, pepper and thyme.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add pork to pan and cook until browned on all sides, turning as necessary about 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer pork to an oven-safe baking dish and bake until at least an internal temperature of 145ºF about 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, core apple and chop into ½-inch pieces.
- Using the same skillet you cooked the pork in, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add apples and cook until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in stock and increase heat to medium-high and continue cooking until stock thickens and apples are tender, another 3-4 minutes.
- Once pork finishes cooking, transfer to a platter and top pork slices with apple mixture.
Notes
- Any type of apple can be used. Honeycrisp, Gala, and Fuji apples are my favorite.
- Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145ºF before resting. Time will vary based on thickness.
