APRICOT-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN



Apricot-Glazed Pork Tenderloin image

We know them as sweet spreads for toast. But jams and jellies, like this apricot spread, can do so much more.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pork tenderloins (about 12 ounces each), trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 jar (10 to 12 ounces) apricot jam, (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Heat broiler; set rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Rub pork with oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together jam and mustard. Cook over medium heat until jam melts, 3 to 4 minutes; remove from heat. Transfer half to a small bowl for brushing. Cover pan to keep remaining sauce warm.
  • Remove pork from broiler; brush with reserved sauce. Continue broiling until pork is blackened in spots and registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Cover pork loosely with foil; let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve drizzled with warm sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose a pork loin roast that is about 3-4 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough meat for your meal.
  • Score the pork loin roast before cooking. This will help the glaze to penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful dish.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the pork loin roast. This will make it easier to cut through the meat and prevent it from tearing.
  • Make sure to rub the glaze all over the pork loin roast before cooking. This will help to ensure that the meat is evenly coated and flavorful.
  • Roast the pork loin roast in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin roast rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Apricot glazed roast pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight meal, this dish is sure to be a hit.
