Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the pork all over with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil; add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the butter, thyme, parsley, rosemary and minced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a piece of wax paper or parchment.
- Brush the pork with the mustard and roll in the toasted breadcrumbs to coat. Return the coated pork to the center of the skillet. Halve the garlic heads crosswise, then add to a large bowl with the pears, onion, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Toss until evenly combined, then add to the skillet surrounding the pork. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pork and garlic to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the skillet with the roasted pears and onions over medium-low heat. Add the vinegar and cook until almost all the vinegar has been absorbed and the pears look glossy, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more chopped parsley. Slice the pork and serve with the roasted garlic, pears and onions.

Steps:
- 1. Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Pat the pork loin dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a large oven-proof skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When very hot, add the pork and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter.

Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Place the pork back in the skillet and spoon the pears around the pork. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F, about 50 minutes.

- 4. Place the skillet over high heat and reduce the broth by half, about 6 minutes.

Steps:
- Place rack on second level from bottom in oven. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
- Combine salt, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place tenderloins side by side in a 12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan. Using your fingers, rub the dry seasonings on all surfaces of each tenderloin. Smear all over with the oil.
- Roast for 10 minutes. Turn over each one; roast another 10 minutes.
- While pork is roasting, puree pear in a food processor or blender until liquid; it should be 1/2 cup.
- Remove tenderloin to a serving platter. Pour off fat in pan and place over high heat. Add pear puree, boil and scrape pan with a wooden spoon to remove browned bits.
- Slice the pork crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss with the sauce. Serve warm or at room temperature, accompanied by party rye bread.
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 or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- 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 in the center for medium-rare or white throughout for medium.
- To avoid overcooking the pork, sear it for only a few minutes per side. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the tenderloin.
- If you don't want to flambé the pork, you can simply cook it in the butter until browned on all sides.
- For a sweeter sauce, use ripe pears. If you only have unripe pears, you can add a little sugar to the sauce.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin flambé with pears is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, the pears are sweet and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
