PORK IN LIME CREAM SAUCE



Pork in Lime Cream Sauce image

My husband loves cooking with lime, and here's a recipe we've recently been experimenting with - very tasty! :)

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Pork

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloin
4 tablespoons chopped yellow onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup sherry wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
salt
white pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh fresh basil or 2 tablespoons cilantro, for garnish (basil preferred)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil and 1 Tbsp butter over high heat; add pork and brown on all sides, turning.
  • Remove skillet from stovetop and place in preheated oven, and bake pork until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • While pork is baking, melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion, garlic, and green onion and saute for 3 minutes.
  • Add wine and sherry and boil until liquid is reduced by half, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and beef broths and boil, stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced to 6 Tbsp, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the half and half and simmer, stirring, until sauce is reduced to 1 cup, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.
  • Whisk in the fresh lime juice.
  • Season sauce to taste with salt and white pepper.
  • Cut pork diagonally into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Spoon sauce onto serving plate; fan pork on top of the sauce, garnish with basil or cilantro, and serve with any extra sauce on the side.
  • Tweaked and adapted from a recipe posted to Gail's Recipe Swap by Debby Bradford, who got it from the November 1991 Bon Appetit.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh lime juice and zest, bell peppers, and pork tenderloin will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the pork, make sure to do it in batches so that the pieces don't steam instead of browning.
  • Cook the pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe helps to tenderize the pork and infuse it with flavor. You can also experiment with other marinades, such as a honey-lime marinade or a cilantro-lime marinade.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides. This dish goes well with rice, beans, or tortillas. You can also serve it with a salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This lime pork with peppers recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the peppers add a pop of color and flavor. The marinade helps to infuse the pork with flavor, and the lime juice adds a bright, citrusy note. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
