"This is an easy way to make tender, succulent pork tenderloin. The sliced apples add a nice complimentary sweetness to the final dish."
- Ready In:

- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 (1 lb) pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and cut into slivers
- 1 dash salt and pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1⁄2 cup chicken broth
- 1⁄2 cup dry white wine
- 1 medium sized apple, peeled, cored, and sliced
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- With the tip of a sharp knife, make deep little slits all over the tenderloin and insert the garlic slivers. Season with salt, pepper and cumin.
- Place the oil in a skillet and sear the tenderloin well on medium high heat for about 10 minutes, turning the meat over as it browns.
- Remove the meat from the skillet (do not discard the juices in the skillet) and place in an oven-proof serving casserole dish. Add the broth and white wine and place it in the oven for 10 minutes.
- After you've placed the meat in the oven, cook the apple slices in the same skillet (with the remaining oil and juices) that you used to brown the tenderloin. Saute until soft.
- After the tenderloin has cooked for 10 minutes remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes, before carving. It will continue to cook while it sits. Slice the tenderloin into 1/4 inch thick slices. Add the sliced apples to the meat in the serving dish. Serve immediately.

Excellent! I let the apples sit for a while in the pan until one side was black - added an amazing flavor to the pork. I grew up on pork apples in the slow-cooker, so I wasn't expecting how wonderfully delicious apples prepared on the stove would be.<br/><br/>If you're squeamish on rarely cooked meat, a minute or two more in the oven might not hurt. I followed the directions for 10 minutes in the stove followed by 10 minutes out of the stove exactly and the meat came out on the low side of cooked. It was at that PERFECTLY tender stage though, so I just cut right in - 'twas phenomenal. -
Simple, quick and tasty and good way to use those apples running out of time -
Simple, elegant--an example of fine cuisine. My pork is from a local, naturally-raised source, and this particular fellow is exceptionally succulent. I omitted the apples since my kitchen has been an apple butter factory all day long; fresh apple butter on the side was wonderful, and the spices in it did not clash with the cumin like I at first feared. Instead of the wine, I used a couple T's of organic beer, and apple juice for the rest. My husband does not often declare a "5 star" recipe, but this rating is definitely from him, as well as from us all. I love the ease of this recipe, too.
