Apple Pork Tenderloin
In this recipe, the apple and ginger really lend themselves to pork and create a fall feel on an old favorite without overpowering the dish with acidity.
For a juicer tenderloin, brine the tenderloin overnight in 2 cups water, 2 tbsp salt and 1 tbsp brown sugar.
Ingredients
-
1
lb
Pork Tenderloin Trimmed of visible fat and silver skin
-
1
tbsp
Olive Oil
-
1
cup
Apple Cider
-
2
tbsp
Brown Sugar
-
1
tbsp
Ginger Grated
-
1

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In sauce pan, combine cider, brown sugar, ginger and vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce until thick and bubbly, about 7 to 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat oil in a sauté pan. Season tenderloin with salt and pepper.
-
Sear off all sides of the tenderloin, assuring a brown crust covering the meat (this will help to maintain moisture).
