The pork tenderloin (What wine goes well with pork tenderloin?), also known as the fillet or gentleman's cut, is located across the rear of the spine stretching 2/3 of the way through the loin and back into the ham. It's one of the most tender cuts of pork because the muscle is used for posture as oppose to locomotion. It doesn't have a lot of fat making it susceptible to drying out.
1. Remove the tenderloin from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking it to let it come down to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 375°F and season the pork with 1-2 teaspoons of salt and pepper.
2. When the oven is preheated, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the meat on all sides until they have nice color then remove from the heat and place into the oven. Roast the pork for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F being careful not to overcook the meat, pork tenderloin can dry out easily.
When it comes to getting the best deals, buying olive oil and skillet online is the way to go!
3. Place the pork in a plate and tent with some foil to rest while you make the apple gravy. Place the skillet onto medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup of beef stock then use a whisk to scrape up all the pork drippings. Add 2 tablespoons of apple jelly, 1 tablespoon of garlic paste, and ½ a tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Whisk all the ingredients until combined.
For the most extensive selection, I suggest buying whisk, garlic paste, and Dijon mustard online!
4. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly reduced then add some fresh thyme leaves, 2 tablespoons of butter, and whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour (how long does flour last?). When starch molecules come into contact with water they clump up. If you get some lumps in the gravy don't worry just keep whisking until the butter is fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Save time and effort by ordering chicken stock online!
5. Simmer the gravy until it reaches your desired consistency then strain the gravy into a measuring jug with a fine-mesh sieve. Cover to keep warm and simply stir when you're ready to use it. Store the gravy covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
Skip the lines and order your measuring jug and fine-mesh strainer online for a stress-free shopping experience!
