November, 20th, 2024
Dieitician Tip
Apple cider is unfiltered juice from apples. In the U.S., cider is referred to as sweet (unfermented and alcohol-free) or hard (fermented and contains alcohol). Either works in this recipe.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 16 ounces pork tenderloin, cut into 4 pieces
- 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, chopped (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups apple cider, divided
- 1 tart apple, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
Season the pork tenderloin with curry powder and let stand for 15 minutes.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
Add the onions to skillet and saute until soft and golden. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cider, reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is half the volume.
Add the chopped apple, cornstarch and the remaining 1/2 cup cider. Stir and simmer while the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Return the tenderloin to the skillet and simmer for the final 5 minutes.
To serve, arrange tenderloin on a serving platter or divide onto individual plates. Pour thickened sauce over meat and serve immediately.
