Pork Tenderloin With Maple Glaze

"This is a great autumn dish. The aromatic sauce of maple, sage and mustard creates a unique seasonal treatment for pork. Consider sauteing some apple slices in butter, maybe with a pinch of sage as well, to serve along side."

directions

  • Rub the tenderloins with 1 TBS of the fresh sage (or all of the dried sage, if using) and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 TBS of the butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until sizzling.
  • Add the pork and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes.
  • REduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the pork registers about 150*F in the center of the thickest part, turning the tenderloins occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the pork to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Add the shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until they begin to soften, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the broth,maple syrup, vinegar, and mustard, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Simmer until the liquid is reduced by one quarter, and has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Whisk in the remaining butter until well blended, then season the sauce with the remaining fresh sage, if using and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the skillet and turn the pork to coat with the glaze.
  • Remove the pork from the skillet, slice the tenderloins into 1/2 inch strips and arrange them overlapping, on a warm serving platter or individual plates.
  • Drizzle the meat with additional sauce and serve.
  • NOTE: Real maple syrup give by far the best results in this recipe, both in flavor and in consistency of sauce.
  • If using maple flavored pancake syrup, don't reduce the sauce too much, or it will become quite sticky.
