Apple Pecan Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• Pat the pork tenderloin dry and generously season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke.
• Place pork in the hot skillet and sear until well browned, about 1½-2 minutes. Flip and repeat searing on all sides.
• Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet.
• Add the onion to hot skillet and toss to coat in the oil. Add the garlic and apples and cook until the apples and onion begin to soften.
• Pour the cider over apples and onion and bring to a simmer.
• Return the pork to the skillet, on top of the apple and onion mixture. Spoon the cooking liquid over the pork and transfer the entire skillet to the oven.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145˚F (62˚C.)
• Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork over a bed of the apples and onions.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Trim all silver skin from tenderloins; pat dry using paper towels. Rub 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over the surface of each tenderloin and rub with sea salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Place tenderloins into the skillet and cook, rotating to brown all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a large plate.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to any drippings in the skillet. Cook apples and onions in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes, adding a bit more oil if skillet gets dry.
• Meanwhile, spread Dijon mustard evenly over browned tenderloins using a pastry brush. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons thyme leaves over pork. Sprinkle remaining thyme over apple mixture and add black pepper; stir gently to combine. Nestle tenderloins into the skillet with apple mixture.
• Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
• Remove skillet from the oven and place pork onto a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest.
• Meanwhile, pour chicken stock into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the skillet containing apple mixture.
• Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes; stir in butter until melted. Slice pork and serve over apple mixture.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 2. Nut Crust: Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl; set aside.
• 3. Pork Chops: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, season the pork chops on both sides with salt. Arrange them in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Turn over and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet. Top each pork chop with reserved crust. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until nut crust browns and pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
• 4. Meanwhile, cook the Granny Smith apple slices with the honey in the pan where the pork chops were cooked over medium heat. Stir occasionally, until tender, 5-8 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, set aside.
• 5. Arrange the pork chops on a platter on top of the apples. Serve immediately.
