Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
4 apples, peeled and cut into 8 pieces each
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 ½ cups apple cider
1 lime, juiced
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
⅛ teaspoon garam masala
salt and ground black pepper to taste
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix together 1 tablespoon ginger, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create a rub. Rub combined seasonings on all sides of the pork tenderloins, using the entire amount.
  • Place apples and sweet potatoes in the bottom of the prepared pan; dot with butter.
  • Mix together apple cider, lime juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon chili powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour over apples and sweet potatoes and place tenderloins on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Ladle cooking liquid over apples and sweet potatoes, turn tenderloins over, and continue baking until pork is slightly pink at the center, about 20 minutes longer. A meat thermometer placed in the center of the thickest tenderloin should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Remove apples and sweet potatoes to a serving platter using a slotted spoon. Place tenderloins on top and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Pour cooking liquid from the baking dish into a 1-quart saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until liquid comes to a boil. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced by one half, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drizzle sauce over pork, apples, and sweet potatoes. Slice tenderloins and serve.

Time 50m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • In a small bowl, combine salt, cinnamon, cardamom & pepper.
  • In a large bowl, place the sweet potato slices & sprinkle them with just 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture & just 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil, then toss to coat.

ASIAN-MARINATED PORK LOIN WITH GINGERED SWEET POTATOES AND FIVE-SPICE APPLES



Asian-Marinated Pork Loin with Gingered Sweet Potatoes and Five-Spice Apples image

Every element in this dish complements the others. The pork, brined to ensure moistness, is ideally set off by the spicy, slightly sweet potatoes, whose warm flavors are echoed by the lightly caramelized apples. This is pork, sweet potatoes and applesauce - that favorite American triumvirate - from an East-West point of view.

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 33

4 cups water
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted Szechwan peppercorns
1 tablespoon toasted black peppercorns, plus freshly ground black pepper
4 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh ginger
2 star anise
2 bay leaves
1 4-pound pork loin
2 tablespoons canola oil
Gingered Sweet Potatoes (recipe follows)
Five-Spice Apples (recipe follows)
1/4 cup chives cut into 1-inch lengths, for garnish
2 tablespoons Chile Oil, for garnish (recipe follows)
6 tablespoons butter
6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup apple juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chile powder, such as ancho, chimayo, or pasilla
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups canola oil

Steps:

  • One day in advance, combine the water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, peppercorns, ginger, anise, and bay leaves in a deep baking dish large enough to hold the pork and stir to mix. Add the pork; if it is not covered, add more water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse the pork thoroughly with cold water, pat dry, and season with the ground pepper to taste. Heat a large skillet over high heat, add the oil, and swirl to caot the bottom of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the pork and brown on all sides. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and roast just until the pork is hot through to the center (about 125 degrees F internal temperature), 25 to 30 minutes. The interior of the pork will remain pink.
  • Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Divide the gingered sweet potatoes among 4 plates, surround with the pork, and add the five-spice apples. Garnish with the chives, drizzle with the chile oil, and serve.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and saute, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream and reduce by one-third over low heat, about 10 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover them completely. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until they can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and trasnfer to a food processor. Add the cream and process until well blended. Add the remaining butter, season with salt and pepper, and puree until smooth. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, correct the seasonings, and serve.
  • For the Five-Spice Apples: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the onion and saute, stirring, until brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the five-spice powder, brown sugar, apples, and juice. Stir, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 12 minutes. The apples should retain their shape and some liquid should remain in the pan; do not overcook. Stir in the butter and correct the seasonings. Serve warm.
  • For the Chile Oil: In a medium skillet, combine the chile powder, cumin, and salt, and heat over medium heat just until the mixture begins to smoke. Whisk in the oil and remove from the stove.
  • Allow the chile oil to cool, transfer it to a glass jar, and let stand overnight. Cover and use or store. The oil will separate from the solids; use the red oil only.

CROCK POT PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND SWEET POTATOES



Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin With Apples and Sweet Potatoes image

This is easy, and slow cooked. Very tender and great flavor. Apples, nutmeg, rosemary, onions, apple cider, white wine and slow roasted. A great slow cooked easy dish. Try a salad with blue cheese dressing and some fresh rosemary beer bread and you have the perfect fall Sunday Football Meal!! I make this all the times for my pool gang. I play pool 1-2 times per week with 5 guys (the girlfriends too) and I usually cook. This is one of the meals for our Sunday night games. It cooks all day while you do other things. You don't lift a finger other than the last hour when I make my beer bread (1 pan wonder) and make a salad). Please give it a try!

Categories     Pork

Time 8h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 -3 lbs pork loin
3 granny smith apples, thick sliced skin on
1 bosc pear, thick sliced skin on (anjou to me is too soft)
3/4 cup white wine
1 cup apple cider (not apple juice)
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 large onions, rough chopped
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
2 bay leaves
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters do not chop fine
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter (1 to saute, 2 for the crock pot)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pork -- In a large saute pan add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat to medium. Season the pork loin well with salt and pepper and sear on medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Just a minute or less per side.
  • Crock pot -- Add the pork to the crock pot. To the pan with pork drippings add the apple cider and just deglaze the pan and stir/scrape up all the drippings with a spatula. Add immediately to the crock pot.
  • Add everything else to the crock pot, vegetables, seasoning, butter, apples, pears, wine, onions, sweet potatoes, etc and just cook.
  • Cook -- 8-10 hours on low or 6-8 hours on high.
  • Enjoy -- Slice thin and serve. You can thicken the sauce if you want with a little slurry of corn starch and water but I find that the potatoes and pork soak up most of the juices. The onion and apples are sweet and everything is just perfect. Just a small salad.

  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you create clean, even slices of pork tenderloin.
  • Season the pork tenderloin generously: Season the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.

  • Let the pork tenderloin rest before serving: Let the pork tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
