Tender Pork Tenderloin

As pork is bred very lean these days, searing the meat holds in the juices. It is therefore a very important step.

Type: Pork
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 2 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Pork tenderloin - (abt 16 oz)
1   Garlic clove - cut into slivers
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGround cumin
2 tablespoons 30mlExtra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup 118mlChicken broth
1/2 cup 118mlDry white wine

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

With the tip of a sharp knife, make deep little slits all over the tenderloin and insert the garlic slivers. Season with salt, pepper and cumin.

Place the oil in an oven-proof skillet and sear the tenderloin well on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning the meat over as it browns.

Add the chicken broth and white wine to the pan and place it in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove it and let it rest for 10 to 12 minutes, before carving. It will continue to cook as it sits. Slice and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 2 servings.
