Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into 1-inch thick medallions.
Sprinkle the pork medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides. Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, swirling to combine.
Once the butter is melted and foaming, add the pork medallions in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Set the pork aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan by adding chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the blackberries and honey. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, gently mashing some of the blackberries with the back of a spoon to create a sauce while leaving others whole for texture.
Return the pork medallions to the skillet. Spoon the blackberry sauce over the pork and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
