Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 medium Granny Smith apple
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Season the pork all over with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the oven, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
While the pork is resting, prepare the caramelized apple onion relish. Peel and thinly slice the onion and apples.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden.
Stir in the apples, light brown sugar, and fresh thyme. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the apples to soften and caramelize.
Deglaze the pan by adding apple cider vinegar and chicken broth. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid reduces slightly and becomes a thick glaze.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions. Serve the pork topped with generous spoonfuls of the caramelized apple onion relish. Enjoy!
