Categories     Pork

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch thick medallions
salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced onions or 2 tablespoons shallots
1 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red currant jelly or 2 tablespoons black currant jelly
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season pork lightly with salt and pepper and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until brown on the outside and no longer pink but still juicy inside.
  • Transfer to plates or a platter and keep warm.
  • Add remaining 1 tsp oil to the skillet.
  • Add onions or shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds.
  • Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring.
  • Boil for 5 to 6 minutes, or until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in lemon juice and whisk into the sauce.
  • Cook, stirring, until thickened and glossy.
  • Remove from heat and stir in jelly, sugar and mustard.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Spoon the sauce over the pork.
  • Serves 2 with side dishes, and doubles easily.
  • Note from Julie: I used black-currant jelly and the sauce was wonderful. I wouldn't describe it as sweet-and-sour - you'd have to taste it for yourself to know what I mean. But I used this recipe the first time I ever cooked pork tenderloin and it's become a recipe I use again and again as a favorite!

I made this recipe with a few modifications to make it healthier. I used lean pork tenderloin, and I reduced the amount of butter and sugar in the sauce. It was still delicious, and I felt good about eating it.
