Delicious Pork Tenderloin Recipe with Apples and Onions

Ingredients

• 2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or more as needed
• 3 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced into eighths
• 2 medium sweet onions, sliced vertically
• 3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Prepare the pork tenderloins by trimming any silver skin and patting them dry with paper towels. Rub 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and sea salt evenly over the tenderloins.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Sear the tenderloins in the hot oil, rotating to brown all sides, for about 10 minutes. Transfer the browned pork to a plate.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet drippings. Cook the apples and onions in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add more oil if needed. Season with 1 teaspoon of thyme and black pepper, stirring gently to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.
5. Evenly spread Dijon mustard over the seared tenderloins using a pastry brush. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of thyme over the mustard. Place the tenderloins into the skillet with the apple and onion mixture.
6. Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins registers at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), approximately 15 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a platter. Cover with foil and let it rest.
7. In the meantime, pour chicken stock into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the reduced stock into the skillet with the apple mixture. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes, then stir in butter until completely melted.
8. Slice the pork and serve it over the flavorful apple and onion mixture.
