Categories     Pork

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup good-quality all-natural cranberry juice or 3/4 cup unfiltered apple juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 shallots, cut in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the pork loin, pat dry, and place in a shallow glass or ceramic baking dish and set aside.
  • Whisk together the cherries, wine, vinegar, cranberry juice, garlic, shallots, and rosemary in a bowl. Pour this mixture over the pork, cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the pork in the heated skillet. Cook the pork on all sides, until lightly brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Pour the reserved marinade over the pork and place the skillet in the oven. Roast, basting several times, about 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 150 to 155 degrees (160 degrees - about 5 minutes longer - for medium-well). The meat will be a very light pink color. (Note: The pork will continue to cook after it is removed from the oven.).
  • Remove from the baking dish and place on a grooved carving board. Cover the pork loosely with foil and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces and spoon the pan juices over the pork. Serve immediately.

Medallions of Pork with Sour Cherry Sauce image

Thinly pounded pork tenderloin slices can be a remarkably economical cut of meat that pair nicely with the sweet-tart sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds pork-loin roast, trimmed of fat
1 cup dried sour cherries
1 cup port wine
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Cut pork into 1/4-inch slices. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound thin with a mallet or the side of a cleaver.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cherries with 1/3 cup of port. Bring to a simmer, then turn off heat. Let cherries soak until you need them.
  • In a medium saute pan (not nonstick) over medium-high heat, cook butter with olive oil until light brown. Cook pork in 2 batches, allowing to brown well around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm plate, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Do not allow pan drippings to burn.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add vinegar, scraping pan with a wooden spoon. Return to heat, and add remaining 2/3 cup wine. Boil over high heat until thick, about 1 minute. Combine with cherries, and spoon over meat. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a pork loin roast for a leaner cut of meat.
  • If you don't have dried cherries, you can substitute dried cranberries or raisins.
  • Add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme to the roasting pan for extra flavor.
  • Roast the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
