Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 medium apples
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Core, slice, and cut the apples into wedges. Leave the skin on the apples for texture.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sweet potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the apple slices, minced garlic, honey, and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt.
Nestle the pork tenderloin back into the skillet, arranging it over the sweet potatoes and apples.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
To serve, slice the pork into medallions and arrange on plates with the roasted sweet potatoes and apples. Drizzle any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
