Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Balsamic Vinegar

The Autumn chill is approaching and we are in the mood for some comfort food. Pork and apples are a fall favorite that combine interesting textures, saltiness, and sweet all in one dish.

Add a little bit of balsamic to the mixture, and you have yourself a five star meal. Is your mouth watering yet?

Helpful Hints:

If pork isn’t your thing, you could substitute it for a steak or roast instead. Just cook it to your liking with the listed ingredients.
Every meal is made better with some fresh greens on the side. Take some arugula from your leafy greens garden, mix it with a little bit of olive oil, and serve as a nice refresher to an otherwise decadent meal.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of all visible fat
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped apple
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Heat the oven to 450 F. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the pork and sprinkle it with black pepper. Cook until the tenderloin is browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and place in the prepared baking pan. Roast the pork for about 15 minutes, or until a food thermometer indicates 165 F (medium).
Meanwhile, add the onion, apple and rosemary to the skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the onions and apples are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the broth and vinegar. Increase the heat and boil until the sauce has reduced, about 5 minutes.
To serve, place the pork on a large platter. Slice on the diagonal and put onto 4 warmed plates. Scoop the onion-apple sauce over the top and serve immediately.
