Pork Tenderloin With Merlot Shallot Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch-thick steaks on a long bias. Season the steaks all over with salt and black pepper, then toss in the flour to coat.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Shake the excess flour off the meat and add it to the skillet. Cook, flipping once, until cooked to medium and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 150 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork steaks to a platter and lower the heat under the skillet to medium.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the shallots. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cider, mustard, parsley, chives and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Simmer, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Top the steaks with the sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Coat pork with 1 1/2 tsp olive oil; rub with rosemary, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
• Heat a heavy, ovenproof skillet over high heat.
• Cook pork, turning often, until lightly browned on all sides, 5 minutes.
• Transfer skillet and pork to oven; roast until thermomether reads 150 degrees, about 10- 15 minutes.
• Transfer cooked pork to a platter; keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 1/2 tsp oil to same skillet.
• Heat over medium heat.
• Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
• Add wine; cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium.
• Stir in stock concentrate and preserves.
• Add remaining 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper; adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Whisk in butter.
• Pour into a serving bowl.
• Slice pork into 1/4" slices and serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mash the garlic and salt together with a fork until it forms a coarse paste. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the oil, fresh herbs and freshly ground pepper. Rub the garlic-herb paste all over the pork. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and roast for 1 1/4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the roast to a carving board and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve the pork into slices and serve with the sauce.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree.

Steps:

• make sauce: if you cook the pork on the stove, then use that pan (leave cooked bits) and make the sauce; I usually just grill the pork and make the sauce separately saute shallots and garlic in oil over med heat; till lightly browned about 4 minutes add wine; cook over high heat till reduced by half; reduce heat to medium stir in stock concentrate and preserves add salt and pepper whisk in butter grill pork - rubbed with olive oil and rosemary till 140 degrees

Steps:

• To brine the pork: Dissolve the salt and brown sugar in 2 cups cold water in a glass or stainless steel bowl large enough to hold the tenderloin. Add the allspice, peppercorns, bay leaves and thyme. Submerge the meat, cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours (overnight is better). Before cooking, remove the tenderloin, pat dry and bring to room temperature. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• To make the sauce and roast: Simmer the prunes in the red wine until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the ginger and orange zest, and steep for 10 minutes
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brown the tenderloin, about 3 minutes per side. (Turn off heat and use the same pan to make the sauce.) Transfer the tenderloin to a small roasting pan. Roast uncovered for about 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. (Residual heat will cause the meat to continue to cook a bit while resting.)
• To finish the sauce, melt the butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and thyme, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until softened, stirring with a wooden spoon. Scrape up any browned bits to enrich the sauce. Add chicken broth, turn up the heat, and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the prunes and wine, and simmer for another 2 minutes. Add the Madeira if using. Taste and correct the seasoning, then add the potato starch mixture and cook for another minute to thicken. Spoon sauce and prunes over the sliced tenderloin.

Steps:

• Place soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, dried onion, cinnamon, olive oil, and a touch of garlic powder in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal, and shake to mix. Place pork in bag with marinade, seal, and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grate. Place tenderloins on grill, and discard marinade. Cook 20 minutes, or to desired doneness. Slice into medallions, and serve.

Steps:

• Rub the minced garlic into the tenderloins and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and sear the tenderloins on both sides until browned.
• Place tenderloins in a shallow baking pan and add the wine to the saute pan and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the tbsp of butter and heat until just melted.
• Pour the half of the sauce from the saute pan over the tenderloins, reserving the rest of the sauce for the mushrooms.
• Bake the tenderloins at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
• During the last 5 minutes of baking, heat 2 tsp butter and the reserved sauce in a saute pan.
• Add 2 tsp minced garlic and the mushrooms and saute on high heat until golden brown.
• Add the 1/2 cup Merlot and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Season with the salt and pepper.
• Serve the mushrooms on the side or slice the pork tenderloins and serve a small amount of the mushrooms on top the tenderloins.
