Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or more as needed
3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced into eighths
2 medium sweet onions, sliced vertically
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Trim all silver skin from tenderloins; pat dry using paper towels. Rub 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over the surface of each tenderloin and rub with sea salt.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Place tenderloins into the skillet and cook, rotating to brown all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a large plate.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to any drippings in the skillet. Cook apples and onions in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes, adding a bit more oil if skillet gets dry.
  • Meanwhile, spread Dijon mustard evenly over browned tenderloins using a pastry brush. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons thyme leaves over pork. Sprinkle remaining thyme over apple mixture and add black pepper; stir gently to combine. Nestle tenderloins into the skillet with apple mixture.
  • Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and place pork onto a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest.
  • Meanwhile, pour chicken stock into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the skillet containing apple mixture.
  • Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes; stir in butter until melted. Slice pork and serve over apple mixture.

Roast Pork Loin with Apples image

Feed a crowd with Food Network Kitchen's Roast Pork Loin with Apples recipe. The flavor comes from apple cider, apple cider vinegar and fresh apples.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (2-pound) boneless center cut pork loin, trimmed and tied
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, thickly sliced
2 carrots, thickly sliced
2 stalks celery, thickly, sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 apples, such as Cortland or Rome peeled, cored and cut into 8 slices
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
  • Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
  • Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 1/2-pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 cup pearled farro
1 1/4 cups unsweetened apple cider
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon regular Dijon mustard
3 sprigs thyme
1 Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apple, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
1/2 small head escarole, roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large braiser or Dutch oven over high heat. Pat the pork dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add to the pot and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the red onion to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the farro and toast for 1 minute. Add the apple cider and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, grainy and regular Dijon and the thyme and bring to a strong simmer, about 2 minutes.
  • Return the pork to the pot along with any residual juices. Braise in the oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reaches 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board, tent loosely with aluminum foil and allow to rest.
  • Stir the apple into the farro mixture. Bake until most of the liquid evaporates and the farro and apples are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the thyme sprigs from the farro and stir in the escarole to wilt. Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick medallions. Serve the sliced pork over the farro and apples, topped with the parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork loin roast. Look for a roast that is about 3-4 pounds and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure a juicy and flavorful roast.
  • Prepare the pork loin roast properly. Trim any excess fat from the roast and season it with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also marinate the roast for several hours or overnight to add even more flavor.
  • Cook the pork loin roast at a low temperature. This will help keep the roast moist and prevent it from drying out. The ideal internal temperature for a pork loin roast is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin roast rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the roast, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the pork loin roast with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Apple-topped pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
