Pork tenderloin is a lean and flavorful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One popular method is to pan-sear the tenderloin and then finish it in the oven. This method results in a tender and juicy tenderloin that is full of flavor. A tart cherry port and caraway sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that complements the pork tenderloin perfectly. The sweetness of the cherries, the tartness of the port, and the earthiness of the caraway seeds create a complex and flavorful sauce that will elevate your pork tenderloin to the next level.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 bacon slices
1 teaspoon olive oil
8 shallots, halved
1/2 cup dried sour cherries
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Chopped fresh dill, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat dry the pork tenderloin and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then wrap with the bacon, overlapping the slices.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then brown the pork and shallots, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the pork tenderloin browned-side up and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the pork reaches 145 degrees F in the center, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • When the pork is done, transfer to a cutting board, leaving the shallots in the skillet. Add the cherries and stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water, then add to the skillet, bring to a boil, whisking until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Slice the pork into 8 pieces, divide among 4 plates with the sauce, and sprinkle with dill, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a more tender pork tenderloin, marinate it in the cherry port and caraway sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • To ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by cutting into it. The meat should be pink in the center with no traces of red.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with the cherry port and caraway sauce. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme.

Conclusion:

Pork tenderloin with tart cherry port and caraway sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork tenderloin is tender and juicy, while the cherry port and caraway sauce is flavorful and complex.
