Brown Sugar And Mustard Pork Tenderloin Recipes

BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Generously season tenderloin with salt and pepper. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mustard, brown sugar and thyme.
• Place a large sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil onto a baking sheet. Place onion slices in the center of the foil, in a single layer. Place pork over the onions and brush with 1/2 of the mustard mixture.
• Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 130 degrees F.
• Remove from oven. Open packet carefully by cutting along top fold with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape. When uncovered, brush with remaining mustard mixture. Leaving the packet open, broil for about 1 minute or until a nice crust forms on top. Remove from the oven and allow tenderloin to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mustard, sherry, and rosemary.
• Place the tenderloins in a baking dish or bowl. Season all over with 1¼ teaspoons salt and pour about one-third of the marinade over top. Turn the tenderloins a few times to coat evenly with the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight (the longer, the better). Cover the remaining marinade and refrigerate until ready to use (it will form the base of the sauce).
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat (see note below if you don't have one of these pans). Add both tenderloins and sear on all sides until nicely browned, 6 to 8 minutes (don't move the tenderloins around between turns; they will brown better if left alone). Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the pork registers about 140°F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes. (To check for doneness without a thermometer, make a slit in the thickest part of the loin; the meat should be mostly white with a slight hint of pale pink, and the juices should run mostly clear.)
• Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it is hot (it is easy to forget and burn yourself!). Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes, then cut into ¼- to ½-inch slices.
• Meanwhile, pour the remaining marinade into a small skillet and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and, stirring constantly, incorporate the butter one piece at a time. Add ⅛ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Arrange the sliced tenderloin on a platter and drizzle with a bit of the sauce; pass the remaining sauce at the table.
• Note: If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the pork to a foil-lined sheet pan after searing. (The foil is just for easy cleanup.) You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time.

MUSTARD AND BROWN SUGAR PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FENNEL TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the farro and stir in a three-finger pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook to your desired tenderness, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl.
• While the farro cooks, pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, then rub the tenderloins with 1 tablespoon canola oil.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork and cook, turning about every 2 minutes, until golden brown all over, 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and reserve the skillet.
• Pick the fronds from the fennel and set aside in a small bowl. Cut off the fennel stalks and thinly slice crosswise; transfer to a medium bowl of cold water and set aside. (The cold water will mellow the fennel's anise flavor and make the stalks extra crunchy.)
• Halve, core and cut the fennel bulbs into a small dice.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the diced fennel and half of the sliced scallions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennel starts to turn golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons mustard and the brown sugar in a small bowl. Brush all over the tenderloins or rub on with your hands. Roast on the upper rack of the oven until the internal temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees F, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
• While the pork is roasting, transfer the skillet with the fennel mixture to the lower rack of the oven and roast until tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Combine the vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard in a small jar with a lid. Add the remaining sliced scallions, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and shake until emulsified. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add the dates to the bowl. Remove the roasted fennel and scallions from the oven and immediately add to the bowl. Drain the sliced fennel stalks, pat dry and add to the bowl. Finely chop some of the fennel fronds (reserve the rest for garnish) and add to the bowl. Stir to combine. This is your relish.
• Stir half of the relish into the cooked farro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice the tenderloins 1/4 inch thick. Serve the pork with the farro and top with more relish and the remaining fennel fronds. Enjoy!

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
• Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.
