Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Fresh Plum Sauce image

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pork tenderloin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 red onion, sliced
2 shallots, sliced
3 fresh thyme sprigs, or more to taste
2 firm plums, pitted and each cut into 4 wedges
1 cup water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon cold butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously season pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tenderloin until browned on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer tenderloin to a plate.
  • Saute onion with a pinch of salt in the same skillet until just softening, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shallots, reduce heat to medium, and cook and stir until shallots and onion are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir thyme into onion mixture; place tenderloin over onion mixture, and set plum quarters, skin-side down, around pork tenderloin. Transfer skillet to preheated oven.
  • Cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork and plums to a plate.
  • Place skillet over medium-high heat and pour water and balsamic vinegar into onion mixture. Bring mixture to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat. Whisk butter into mixture until melted and sauce is shiny. Pour sauce over pork and plums.

PORK TENDERLOIN CUTLETS WITH PLUM GLAZE

This is a favorite among my friends. I've been requested to make this at least once a week! The cutlets and glaze can be prepped in advance -- up to several hours ahead. The grilling takes only minutes. This recipe is 6 WW pts. per serving.

Provided by Amber Dawn

Categories     Pork

Time 16m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/2 cup plum jam or 1/2 cup plum preserves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, crushed with garlic press
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large plums, each pitted and cut in half (1 pound)

Steps:

  • Prepare grill.
  • Using sharp knife, cut tenderloin lengthwise almost in half, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Open and spread flat like a book.
  • With meat mallet or between two sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper with rolling pin, pound meat to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces; sprinkle cutlets with salt and pepper.
  • In small bowl, combine plum jam, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  • Brush one side of each cutlet and cut side of each plum half with plum glaze.
  • Place cutlets and plums on grill over medium heat, glaze side down, and cook 3 minutes.
  • Brush cutlets and plums with remaining plum glaze; turn pork and plums over and cook until cutlets are lightly browned on both sides, just after lose their pink color throughout, and plums are hot, about 3 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork by cutting into it. The meat should be pink and juicy in the center for medium-rare, slightly pink for medium, or no longer pink for well done.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • You can use any type of plum jam or preserves for the glaze. If you want a sweeter glaze, use a jam with a higher sugar content. If you prefer a more tart glaze, use a jam with a lower sugar content.
  • If you don't have plum jam or preserves, you can make your own by simmering plums, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until the mixture thickens.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Plum glazed pork tenderloin is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the plum glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home in no time.
