ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON JAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Drain all but 1 to 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. Add the lager, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes and rosemary to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until the mixture becomes a very thick syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over a medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sprinkle the pork with the garlic pepper seasoning and add to the skillet. Cook, turning as needed, until the pork is browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until cooked through (145 degrees F on a meat thermometer), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest, about 5 minutes.
• Finish the bacon jam by stirring the bacon into the reduced beer mixture.
• Toss the arugula with the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, then transfer to a platter. Slice the tenderloin and shingle it around the arugula. Top with the bacon jam and serve.

PERFECT PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• For the pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the peppercorns in a resealable bag and crush them coarsely with a meat mallet or rolling pin.

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the pork and cook, turning as needed to brown the pork all over, about 5 minutes.

• For the herby mustard cream sauce: Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Melt the butter, then add the garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook for a minute or two Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the cream thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the whole-grain mustard and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Slice the pork and shingle it onto a platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the top and sprinkle over some chopped parsley. Transfer the remaining sauce to a sauceboat or serving bowl and serve alongside the pork.
