Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub it evenly with salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add dried cranberries, chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the seared pork tenderloin to the skillet, spooning some of the glaze over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 18-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reads 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork rests, place the skillet with the cranberry glaze back on the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in the butter and simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and drizzle the cranberry cinnamon glaze over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
