Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and black pepper.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the orange juice, chicken broth, honey, Dijon mustard, and orange zest to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the dried cranberries and rosemary, then place the seared pork tenderloin back into the skillet. Spoon some of the cranberry mixture over the pork.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the cranberry orange sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!
