Pork Tenderloin With Tart Cherry Port And Caraway Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat dry the pork tenderloin and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then wrap with the bacon, overlapping the slices.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then brown the pork and shallots, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the pork tenderloin browned-side up and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the pork reaches 145 degrees F in the center, 15 to 18 minutes.
• When the pork is done, transfer to a cutting board, leaving the shallots in the skillet. Add the cherries and stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water, then add to the skillet, bring to a boil, whisking until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Slice the pork into 8 pieces, divide among 4 plates with the sauce, and sprinkle with dill, if desired.

Steps:

• Season the pork medallions with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat and cook the meat until there is just a slight blush in the center about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil.
• Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and the shallots to the pan and saute until they begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the cherries and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the pork medallions and serve.

Steps:

• For the pork wellington: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme leaves.
• Break up the cornbread in a bowl, add the onion-thyme mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Sear the pork, turning as needed, until golden brown all around, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely. Reserve the skillet to make the sauce.
• Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• On a cutting board, lay out the ham slices, overlapping them to create a rectangle about 12 inches long. Rub the tenderloin completely with the mustard and place over the ham slices. Wrap the ham over the tenderloin to seal in the mustard.
• Lay out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle with the long sides 2 inches longer than the pork tenderloin. Spread the cornbread mixture around the pastry sheet, leaving about a 1-inch border all the way around. Place the wrapped tenderloin along one of the long sides of the pastry. Roll the tenderloin up in the pastry, making sure it's completely wrapped. Fold in the pastry ends, brush with the beaten egg and tuck in. Place the wrapped pork on the prepared baking sheet with the seam on the bottom and brush liberally with the beaten egg.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the tenderloin registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 35 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
• For the cherry port sauce: In the same skillet you seared the pork, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat, add the shallot and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the cherries, broth, port and honey. Increase the heat to high and simmer, stirring often, until the sauce is reduced to a glaze, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine coriander, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Rub pork with spice mixture.
• Heat oil in a 12" heavy skillet over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Reduce heat to medium and cook pork, turning occasionally, until meat is browned on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of each tenderloin registers 145°F, 20-25 minutes. Transfer pork with tongs to a cutting board (do not wipe out skillet) and let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook shallot and thyme in skillet, stirring, until softened and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, and sugar. Bring to simmer and cook, scraping up any browned bits and stirring frequently, until liquid is reduced by about half and shallots are tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in cherries, any accumulated juices, and 3/4 tsp. salt and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, add butter, and swirl skillet to combine. Pluck out thyme sprigs, then season with salt and pepper. Slice pork and serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Place pork in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour in olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced onion, ginger, sugar, and flavor enhancer for marinade. Toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove pork from the refrigerator and place in a shallow baking pan. Cover with some of the marinade and discard the rest.
• Cook in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
• While pork is resting, prepare sauce: Combine cherry preserves, wine, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Keep warm.
• Drizzle sauce over pork, top with almonds, and serve.

Steps:

• Place port in a 1-cup glass measure. Microwave at high 20 seconds or until very warm.
• Combine port and cherries; cover and let stand 10 minutes or until soft. Drain cherries in a colander over a bowl, reserving port.
• Combine flour, coriander, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour mixture.
• Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned.
• Remove pork; stir in reserved port, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add cherries and shallots.
• Reduce heat; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in broth; bring to a simmer.
• Return pork to pan. Partially cover and cook 10 minutes.
• Uncover and cook 12 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 155° (slightly pink), turning pork occasionally.
• Cut into slices, and serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Pat the chops dry, and rub them all over with a mixture of the rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. Cover, and marinate for up to 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring the chops back to room temperature before grilling.
• Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill, and put the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Cook the chops over the hottest part of the fi re until well seared on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Move them to the cool part of the grill, cover and cook until done, anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the fi re and the thickness of the chops. The pork is done when it's just fi rm to the touch, its juices run just slightly pink and the meat is rosy in the center, or when an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees in the thickest part of the chop (the temperature will continue to rise as the chops rest). Transfer them to a platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest while you make the sauce.
• Put 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots, and cook until soft, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the cherries, wine and whatever juices have accumulated around the pork chops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces into a thin syrup, 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, a little at a time, until it's incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chops, and serve.
