Pork Tenderloin Pear And Cranberry Salad Recipes

ROAST PORK LOIN WITH PEARS AND CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Pat the pork loin dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a large oven-proof skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When very hot, add the pork and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
• 2. Adjust the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the pear wedges in a single layer and cook, turning once, until the pears are tender and begin to brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the platter with the pork.
• 3. Stir the onions and rosemary into the skillet and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Place the pork back in the skillet and spoon the pears around the pork. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board; let rest at least 20 minutes while you make the pan sauce. Transfer the pears to a large platter.
• 4. Place the skillet over high heat and reduce the broth by half, about 6 minutes. Add the cranberries and mustard to the skillet; continue to cook until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 more minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Slice the pork and serve with the sauce.

HERB-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. With a paring knife, cut 10 small slits in each tenderloin. Stuff slits with garlic and thyme; season pork with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium. Add pork, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Add pears to skillet. Transfer to oven, and cook, tossing pears once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork and pears to a platter; let rest 5 minutes. Season pan juices with salt and pepper, and pour into a gravy boat or small bowl. Slice pork, and serve with pears and pan juices.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEAR-CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and add shallots. Cook just until softened.
• Add pears, cranberries, syrup, juice, port, salt and lemon peel (leave the peel whole to make it easier to remove later). Bring to a very gentle simmer and reduce by about half to a syrupy consistency (8-10 minutes). The cranberries will break down a bit and the Bosc pears should soften but not turn to mush. Remove from heat, remove the peel and keep warm.
• For the tenderloins: Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Dry the tenderloin and remove any excess fat and connective tissue (the silvery film often found around tenderloins will constrict when cooked and can make them curl up and wring out the moisture from the meat). Season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke. Brown the tenderloins on all sides (about 10 minutes).
• If you didn't use an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) then place the tenderloins in a baking dish. Place the skillet/dish in the oven and roast until the pork registers 135°F - about 10-15 minutes. Turn the tenderloins about halfway through the cooking time.
• Transfer the tenderloins to a carving board and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. They should reach an internal temperature of about 145-150°F.
• Gently reheat the sauce for a few moments. Slice the tenderloin into 1" pieces and dress with the sauce.

CRANBERRY PECAN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread pecans evenly on a baking sheet. Toast for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant.
• In a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper; mix until sugar and salt dissolve. Whisk in olive oil.
• In a salad bowl, toss together the greens, cranberries, pecans, onions, and cheese. Drizzle with vinaigrette, and toss gently to coat.
