Roast Pork Tenderloin With Meyer Lemon Sauce Recipes

PORK ROAST WITH MEYER LEMON GLAZE

Steps:

• Carefully cut any strings tying the roast and unroll or (depending how its cut) separate/butterfly into halves. Slash the meat at intervals and rub liberally with rosemary and minced garlic. Place in a nonreactive container or resealable plastic bag big enough for the meat to lie flat. Pour the wine over the meat and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary. Let marinate for at least 90 minutes, turning several times.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, pat very dry (the bits of rosemary and garlic on the meat are fine. Reassemble into the original roll shape and tie using butchers' twine.
• Place the meat in a roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast for 30 minutes. Baste the meat with any juices that accumulate in the pan, and roast for 15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, combine the sugar, half cup lemon juice and the Cointreau. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Discard any fat in the roasting pan, then spoon the lemon mixture over the meat. Roast for 30 minutes longer, basting the meat with the glaze every 5 to 10 minutes. The glaze will become thick and the roast a glossy brown.
• Transfer the roast to a cutting board, reserving accumulated pan juices. Let the meat set on a plate for 10 minutes before carving.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice to the reserved pan juices along with any juices released by the roast. Pour into a sauceboat and pass at the table.

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.
• Mix together the salt, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary and crushed red pepper, if using, in a bowl. Season the pork with the seasoning mix.
• 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. 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.
• 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.

LEMON SALT MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Finely zest the lemons.
• Using a mortar and pestle, work the salt and lemon zest together. Add a few turns of black pepper and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir to blend. Rub the lemon salt mixture all over the pork.
• In a large saute pan heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until hot but not smoking, add tenderloins to pan and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes total. (If you have a small pan, sear 1 tenderloin at a time.) Move pan with pork to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer reads 155 degrees F, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove pork from the pan and let rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. Slice the tenderloins against the grain on a diagonal bias, fan out on a plate, and serve with Honey Roasted Applesauce.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Peel the apples with a vegetable peeler, remove the core and cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Heat a medium saute pan on medium-high heat with the butter in it. When the butter begins to brown add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the apples and salt. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges just begin to color. Add the honey and put in oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until the apples are soft and lightly caramelized.
• Mash with a fork for a chunky version, or put in food processor for a smoother sauce. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.
• Yield: 4 to 6 servings
• Cook's Notes: Most applesauce recipes call for cooking the apples on the stovetop from start to finish. I prefer to start them on the stovetop and then finish them in a hot oven. The oven heat concentrates their flavors by drying and caramelizing them slightly. Although I have suggested a couple of apple varieties, you can use what good cooking apples are available in your area.
