Apricot Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin Over Ginger Rice With Sesame Green Beans Recipes

APRICOT BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GINGER RICE AND SESAME GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Wash and dry all produce (except for green beans). Peel and mince or grate ginger. Mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve, peel, and mince half the shallot (mince whole shallot for 4).
• Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and scallion whites; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add half the stock concentrate and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Cover and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes.
• Pat pork dry with paper towels; season all over with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp Fry Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings- we sent more). Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wash out pan.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter in same pan over medium-high heat. Add minced shallot and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in jam and vinegar. Simmer until syrupy, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4), half the brown sugar (use all for 4), and remaining stock concentrate. Bring to a boil, then lower heat. Let bubble until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pierce green bean bag with a fork; place bag on a plate. Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. (TIP: No microwave? No problem! Steam beans in a small pot with a splash of water until just tender, 5-7 minutes.) Carefully transfer green beans to a medium bowl. Toss with sesame oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Stir any resting juices from pork into pan with glaze. Slice pork crosswise into medallions. Divide rice, pork, and green beans between plates. Drizzle pork with glaze. Top everything with scallion greens and soy sauce to taste.

APRICOT GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add pork, season lightly on one side, and sear about 2 minutes per side, until nearly cooked through.
• Add apricot preserves, tamari sauce and ginger and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer 5-10 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce reduces (if you like thicker sauce, remove pork once it is fully cooked to a covered dish and then keep cooking sauce, raising the temp a bit higher, until it has reduced to your liking, or add some cornstarch and cook till thick).

APRICOT PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread butter all over the pork tenderloin. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Combine garlic powder, apricot preserves, honey, and sherry in a separate bowl.
• Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the pork from the oven and brush with the apricot sauce. Return the pork to the oven. Continue roasting, basting occasionally with the remaining sauce, until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
