APRICOT BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN



Apricot Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin image

This recipe makes plenty of glaze, enough to use on two tenderloins if you so choose.

Provided by Brittany Everett

Categories     Main

Time 1h5m

Yield 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 6

⅔ cup smooth apricot preserves
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon herbes de provence
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1.25 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat & silverskin

Steps:

  • Take the pork out of the fridge. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the preserves, vinegar, lemon juice & herbes de provence in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and keep it at a hearty simmer for about 10 minutes, until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour some of the glaze into a small bowl for serving (this way it won't get contaminated when you're glazing the pork).
  • Place the pork on a parchment lined baking sheet and season all over with salt and pepper. Brush generously on all sides with the glaze and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pork registers 140-145 on a meat thermometer. (The temp will go up a few more degrees after you take it out of the oven.) Let the pork rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional glaze.

It's pan-seared until crusty and blackened on the outside and then bathed in an apricot balsamic glaze that lends a touch of sweetness. The sweet-savory pork combo is served over a bed of ginger rice and green beans that pack a one-two punch.

2 tablespoon Apricot Jam
5 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
6 ounce Green Beans
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
2 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
3 tablespoon Butter
Kosher Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and dry all produce (except for green beans). Peel and mince or grate ginger. Mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve, peel, and mince half the shallot (mince whole shallot for 4).
  • Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and scallion whites; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add half the stock concentrate and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes.
  • Pat pork dry with paper towels; season all over with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp Fry Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings- we sent more). Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wash out pan.

  • Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Stir any resting juices from pork into pan with glaze. Slice pork crosswise into medallions. Divide rice, pork, and green beans between plates. Drizzle pork with glaze. Top everything with scallion greens and soy sauce to taste.
