PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR-CRANBERRY SAUCE



Pork Tenderloin With Pear-Cranberry Sauce image

This is my own recipe. I scored some great locally raised pork tenderloin and some homemade maple syrup in the same week, and was inspired to create a recipe that used these and other regional ingredients. This recipe comes together very quickly. I made the sauce while the tenderloins were roasting and it took me less than 45 minutes from the time I started prepping ingredients to getting it on the table. By the way, I specify port, but sweet marsala or sherry should work (or substitute 2 Tbs of balsamic vinegar in 1/3 cup water for the 1/2 cup wine). Using >Bosc< pears is key because they won't break down when cooked. I served the tenderloins with buttermilk biscuits and lightly steamed green beans. And had a pint of Wolaver's brown ale to go with it all. Beauty!

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, chopped fine
4 bosc pears, peeled, cored and diced medium
1 cup cranberries
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup port wine (see substitution note above)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 -3 inches lemon peel
1 1/2-2 lbs pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add shallots. Cook just until softened.
  • Add pears, cranberries, syrup, juice, port, salt and lemon peel (leave the peel whole to make it easier to remove later). Bring to a very gentle simmer and reduce by about half to a syrupy consistency (8-10 minutes). The cranberries will break down a bit and the Bosc pears should soften but not turn to mush. Remove from heat, remove the peel and keep warm.
  • For the tenderloins: Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Dry the tenderloin and remove any excess fat and connective tissue (the silvery film often found around tenderloins will constrict when cooked and can make them curl up and wring out the moisture from the meat). Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke. Brown the tenderloins on all sides (about 10 minutes).
  • If you didn't use an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) then place the tenderloins in a baking dish. Place the skillet/dish in the oven and roast until the pork registers 135°F - about 10-15 minutes. Turn the tenderloins about halfway through the cooking time.
  • Transfer the tenderloins to a carving board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. They should reach an internal temperature of about 145-150°F.
  • Gently reheat the sauce for a few moments. Slice the tenderloin into 1" pieces and dress with the sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork tenderloin for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pork tenderloin, as it can become dry and tough.
  • To make the caramelized pears, use a heavy-bottomed skillet so that the pears don't burn.
  • Cook the pears over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
  • Add the pear brandy and cream to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  • Pour the sauce over the pork tenderloin and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Pears and Pear Brandy Cream Sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection and the caramelized pears and pear brandy cream sauce add a touch of sweetness and richness. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
