Roasted Pork Tenderloin With Fresh Plum Sauce Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SWEET BALSAMIC PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• Trim pork tenderloin of any silver skin. Rub all of tenderloin all over with olive oil. Spoon the Monreal seasoning (or salt and pepper, or other favorite rub) over the tenderloin and spread it to cover the entire cut of meat from all sides.
• Place the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan, cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30-40 minutes in a preheated oven at 425 F, until the tenderloin is cooked through and pale pink in the center, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Depending on your oven, you might have to cook pork longer than 30-40 minutes.
• Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and slice in the center to check for desired doneness - if it's too pink for you, cover the pan with foil and let it sit for 10-15 minutes on the counter (the pork will continue cooking in its own heat).
• When ready to serve, slice the pork into 1-inch slices.
• In a medium size skillet, combine cubed plums, balsamic vinegar and honey and bring to boil.
• Reduce to simmer (but so that it's still boiling on lower heat) and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, uncovered, to reduce the sauce. The plums should soften and release juices.
• Remove from heat, cover and let it sit for another 10 minutes, covered, before serving, - that will help the sauce to thicken.
• Spoon the plum sauce over the sliced pork tenderloin.

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FRESH PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously season pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
• Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tenderloin until browned on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer tenderloin to a plate.
• Saute onion with a pinch of salt in the same skillet until just softening, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shallots, reduce heat to medium, and cook and stir until shallots and onion are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Stir thyme into onion mixture; place tenderloin over onion mixture, and set plum quarters, skin-side down, around pork tenderloin. Transfer skillet to preheated oven.
• Cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork and plums to a plate.
• Place skillet over medium-high heat and pour water and balsamic vinegar into onion mixture. Bring mixture to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat. Whisk butter into mixture until melted and sauce is shiny. Pour sauce over pork and plums.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC PLUM REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until the oil shimmers; gently lay the tenderloin into the hot oil. After about 1 minute, gently loosen the meat from the bottom of the skillet, if necessary. Cook until the pork is seared a golden brown color, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the lined baking sheet.
• Roast the seared tenderloin in the preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing into medallions.
• Cook the plums, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and blueberry juice in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the plums are soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan and simmer until reduced and thickened to the consistency of apple butter, about 5 more minutes. Spoon plum sauce over the sliced pork to serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together garlic salt, poultry seasoning, and black pepper. Season all sides of tenderloin; set aside.
• Add white wine, plum sauce, and cornstarch to a slow cooker; whisk to combine. Place both tenderloins into cooker, and sprinkle remaining spice rub over the top.
• Cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
• Let tenderloin rest 25-30 minutes before slicing. Slice 1/2-inch thick slices at an angle.
• Serve sliced tenderloin hot with plum sauce drizzled on top.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PLUM BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan, broiler or grill to high heat.
• Heat the sugar and water in a medium pot over medium-high heat. When the mixture reaches a bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the ginger, plums and five-spice powder. Simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Add the plum mixture to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in the hoisin sauce. Reserve.
• While the plums are cooking, put the pork tenderloins on a sheet pan and coat with oil, grill seasoning and coriander. Grill, or broil 6 inches from heat, until just firm, about 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest for about 5 minutes, then slice and arrange on a platter. Top with the plum barbecue sauce and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED PLUMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat. Use a mortar and pestle to crush the peppercorns, marjoram, rosemary and garlic powder together. Sprinkle the spices around the meat and wrap in plastic wrap. Set aside for up to 15 minutes. (If you are going to let this rest longer, place in fridge and remove 15 minutes before cooking.).
• To roast plums, place the fruit skin side to the bottom of the pan and leaves from 2 rosemary sprigs in an 8-inch-square baking dish.
• Whisk water, balsamic vinegar, 4 tablespoons sugar and peppercorns in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean; add the seeds and bean to the vinegar mixture. Pour the mixture over the plums. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons (turbinado or white) sugar.
• Roast the plums, uncovered, until tender and beginning to break down, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Once the meat has sat for 15 minutes, heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet (or another oven proof pan). Cook the meat for 5-6 minutes turning so that all sides of the tenderloin are browned. Place skillet in the oven and cook until the meat reaches 155 degrees, about 12-15 minutes. Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. (In that time the meat will reach the desired 160 degrees.).
• Once the plums are done roasting, discard the rosemary and the vanilla bean. Strain the roasting liquid into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, 6 to 8 minutes. Whilst reducing the sauce tent the plums with foil over the roasting pan. (I would suggest not starting your reduction until the meat is cooked and resting.).
• After the meat has rested, carve on the diagonal into slices about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick.
• To serve place a quarter of plums onto the plate. Place the pork on top and drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
