Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin, and season it thoroughly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced almonds to the butter and toast them gently, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the almond mixture and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Deglaze the almond skillet with lemon juice and chicken broth, stirring to combine and reduce the liquid slightly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle the almond butter sauce over the sliced pork tenderloin and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
