FIVE-SPICE PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine spice powder and salt on a plate; generously coat pork tenderloins. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, and pour in oil. Add tenderloins; brown well on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer to oven, and roast until meat is cooked through, about 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 160 degrees. Remove from oven; let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FENNEL SPICE

Steps:

• Cut the tenderloin in half crosswise, coat each half liberally with the fennel spice rub.
• Next heat a saute pan to medium high, add a couple of tablespoons of oil to coat the pan bottom and sear the tenderloins well.
• Put the pan in a 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.
• Remove pan when tenderloin is done (it should be pink- medium rare) and let the meat rest on your cutting board for 10 minutes.
• Take your pan with all the gunk on the bottom, put it on high heat, add about a half cup of white wine and scrape while the wine is boiling to get all of the gunk off the bottom.
• As soon as the wine has reduced to a very syrupy consistency remove from the heat and swirl in a pat of butter.
• Slice meat and pour sauce over (you will have very little sauce but it will be intense).

LOIN OF PORK WITH FENNEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the onions and fennel with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel are tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Pernod and cook for another minute, deglazing the pan. Cool slightly.
• Add the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt to the stuffing mixture. Lay the pork on a board fat side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly on the pork and roll up lengthwise, ending with the fat on the top of the roll. Tie with kitchen string, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place the rolled pork loin on a baking rack on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the interior of the pork is 137 degrees F. (If the thermometer hits stuffing rather than pork, it will register a higher temperature, so test the meat in several places.) Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings, slice thickly, and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH LEMON AND FENNEL

Steps:

• Combine 1 tablespoon of the lemon oil, garlic paste, zest, fennel seeds, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the pork tenderloins and let stand at room temperature, covered, for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the pork tenderloins, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a baking pan and roast the pork for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until an inserted instant read thermometer reads 150 degrees F, about 15 to 20 minutes, for medium, or to desired doneness. Remove the pork to a platter and let sit for 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices.
• Variation: If you'd like to serve fresh fennel alongside the pork, after browning the pork, add the fennel to the same skillet. Cook the fennel, stirring frequently, over medium heat until it begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Add a minced garlic clove, a teaspoon of sugar and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup cool water, bring to a boil and simmer until the liquid is all evaporated and the fennel is fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Place the oil and the zest in a glass jar. Let stand at room temperature for at least 2 weeks, shaking occasionally.
• Pour the oil through a strainer and discard the zest. Transfer to a jar and store, tightly covered, at in refrigerator.

• Transfer pork to a cutting board, and let rest at least 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Serve pork with fennel and garlic.
