Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons EACH: onion powder and garlic powder
1 teaspoon EACH: oregano, salt, and pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
½ cup beef broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon butter (can sub ghee for dairy-free)
Minced parsley (to serve)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Dry the pork tenderloins well with paper towels.
  • Mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub this spice mix over all sides of the pork.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork, working in 2 batches if your pan is not big enough to fit both tenderloins without them touching. Sear the pork on all sides until it is brown, about 6 minutes total. Take the pan off the heat.
  • Move the pork to a baking dish. If the spices left in the pan are black, wipe them away with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and add the beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits then boil for 1 minute until it reduces to about ¼ cup. Pour this sauce over the pork.
  • Pour the apple cider vinegar over the pork then dot the top with the butter. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  • Bake the pork for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Serve with a little minced parsley, for color.

Categories     Pork

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 1/4 inch Slices, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (2 -3 lb) pork tenderloin (2-3 lbs or larger if preferred)
1 large onion
1/2 bell pepper
1 fresh garlic clove
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 -3 small carrot
1 -3 small celery, stems (Preferably the Center stalks)
2 tablespoons rosemary (Fresh if Available for more robust flavor)
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon peppercorn
1/2 ounce McCormick Grill Mates smokehouse maple seasoning (depending on size of tenderloin)
1 ounce goya pure all natural honey

Steps:

  • Wash Pork thoroughly under cold running water.
  • Pat dry with clean cloth or Paper towels.
  • Starting from top of Pork make 6-8 deep slivers along top of tenderloin towards center of Pork. You will stuff the garlic cloves in these slivers (Do not make cuts all the way down to bottom for Pork_.
  • Wash Garlic under warm water for easy peeling, and stuff the garlic in each Sliver cut you made. (You can make as many cuts as you like for stuffing).
  • Push ends of Pork together to conceal cuts.
  • Rub Olive oil on entire pork tenderloin top and bottom. This will seal pores in the meat to lock in juices, also helps for the seasonings to adhere to the meat.
  • Sprinkle Sea salt on Pork,Thyme and Sage on the Top and Sides of Pork (Set aside for now).
  • Cut Onions and bell-pepper in slivers (Not Diced) and lay on the bottom of Baking Dish (Glass Dish Preferably) Make a bed because you want to keep them directly under the meat. This is used for the juices that run off to collect in the dish to make a sauce if you prefer. I myself do not like let my meat touch the bottom of dish as this will make your pork cook to fast from the bottom resulting in overcooking the Pork. Pork cooks just a little slower then chicken. Just keep that thought in mind when allowing cooking time.
  • Place tenderloin in Dish on top of you onion and pepper bed.
  • Now Sprinkle peppercorn on top of meat. Cut carrots/Celery and place on all sides of Meat. (Or what ever Vegetables you Perfer).
  • Drizzle half the honey on top of the pork tenderloi,n the other half you will use when Pork is almost done or after its done your choice.
  • Now Generously sprinkle the McCormick Smokehouse Maple seasoning on top and sides of meat, you can cuff you hands as you sprinlke the sides to catch excess seasonings and pat the sides with the excess seasonings that fall. (Completely cover the top and sides of meat the more the better).
  • Sprinkle the rosemary on tip and sides as well.(If using fresh rosemary you can lay leafs on top if using day spread evenly on top and sides of meat).
  • Pour Chicken broth in the Dish from one of the corners of dish( Don't pour on top of Meat). Since the meat is on a bed of vegetables the broth will flow under the meat.
  • Cover the Dish with Aluminum foil foil (Shinny side up). Try to seal the edges of the dish by using your index finger and thumb and go around the rim of the dish.
  • Place in a 325 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and drizzle the rest of the honey you used on top eariler and bake an additional 15-25 minutes with out foil on top for excellent browning.
  • Cut into 1/4 inch slices and add you favorite sauce on top of slices. I took the drippings from the meat and some maraschino cherry's/Cinnamon and some fresh mint and cornstarch and made a Glaze for the topping, If you want the sauce ingredients just let me know.
  • ENJOY!
