PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BLACKBERRY MUSTARD SAUCE



Pork Tenderloin With Blackberry Mustard Sauce image

I found this recipe many years ago in a Cooking Light magazine, and this is really a winner!! The Blackberry Mustard makes 16 servings, so I freeze the leftover in 1/4 cup servings, and can defrost one or two whenever I fix a grilled meat and am hungry for the sauce. This recipe maybe looks putsy, but I make it lot for company since I can brown it and let it cook for 30 minutes, then finish it off. Everybody always gathers in the kitchen anyway, so I usually put one or two of the guests to work to help finish the meal. The dry rub on the tenderloins makes the blackberry mustard sauce taste even sweeter. I have used both fresh and frozen blackberries in this recipe and both taste great!!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Ensure all ingredients and tools are ready before starting to cook.
  • Tenderize the bear tenderloins: Pounding the tenderloins with a meat mallet helps break down the muscle fibers, resulting in more tender meat.
  • Sear the tenderloins properly: Searing the tenderloins over high heat creates a flavorful crust while preserving their juicy interior.
  • Cook the tenderloins to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the tenderloins are cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
  • Make the blackberry sauce while the tenderloins are cooking: This allows the flavors to meld and develop while maximizing your cooking time.
  • Let the tenderloins rest before slicing: Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful tenderloins.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary enhances the dish's visual appeal and adds an extra layer of flavor.

Conclusion:

Bear tenderloins with blackberry sauce is a delectable and elegant dish that showcases the unique flavor of bear meat.
