Provided by Ashlyn Edwards | Belle of the Kitchen

Categories     Main Dish

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package pork tenderloins (package should contain two tenderloins)
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 Tablespoons honey
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons orange juice
2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried rosemary (or 1 sprig freshly chopped)
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, and place the two pork tenderloins on top.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, orange juice, dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, and pepper. Cut small slits in the top of each of the tenderloins, about halfway through (about 6 slits on each). Pour the sauce over the top of the tenderloins.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top of the tenderloins every 10 minutes. This creates a super yummy glaze on top, and will soak into the slits you cut in the meat. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the largest part of the tenderloins reads 145.
  • Remove tenderloins from the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with sauce from the pan drizzled over the top. Enjoy!

MUSTARD-AND-HERB-CRUSTED PORK ROAST



Mustard-and-Herb-Crusted Pork Roast image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 10h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup kosher salt
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 cloves garlic, smashed
8 bay leaves
3 tablespoons dried juniper berries, lightly crushed
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 6-rib center-cut bone-in pork loin roast (about 5 1/2 pounds), chine bone notched
For the crust:
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 scallion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
2 teaspoons dried juniper berries, lightly crushed
3 tablespoons dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Brine the pork: Combine 4 cups water, the salt, sugar, garlic, bay leaves, juniper berries, peppercorns and cloves in a large pot or wide Dutch oven (large enough to hold the pork). Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add 8 cups ice cubes; stir occasionally until the brine is cooled.
  • Make small deep cuts, about 2 inches apart, all over the pork and between the ribs using the tip of a paring knife. Add the pork to the pot and submerge in the brine; add more cold water if needed to completely submerge. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Set a rack in a roasting pan and put the pan on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 325 degrees F. Remove the pork from the brine, pat dry and set aside to bring to room temperature. Remove 3 cups brine (along with the spices) to a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove the hot roasting pan from the oven and carefully stand up the pork on the rack with the chine bone down. Add the hot brine to the bottom of the pan. Roast until the fat is mostly rendered, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the crust: Pulse the panko, butter, scallion, parsley, thyme and juniper berries in a food processor until the herbs are coarsely chopped and the mixture is combined.
  • Remove the pork from the oven and reposition so it is meat-side up; brush the top and sides with the mustard, then sprinkle with the panko mixture, patting to adhere. Return to the oven and roast 50 more minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and continue roasting until the crust is crisp and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 20 more minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before carving.

PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-AND-MUSTARD CRUST



Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Herb-and-Mustard Crust image

I developed this recipe based on what I had on hand: rosemary fresh from the pot on my balcony, a Niman Ranch pork tenderloin, and a brand-new jar of dijon mustard. The result is an incredibly flavorful, relatively quick dinner that is also pretty low in fat (you could use a nonstick pan and less oil for even lighter results, though the searing will not be as good). Great with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies for a simple weeknight meal that's fit for guests.

  • Add the tenderloin to the pan.
  • DO NOT TOUCH IT FOR AT LEAST TWO MINUTES!

  • Some of the coating will adhere to the pan, that's OK.
  • Place the pan in the hot oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until tenderloin is cooked to your liking (at least 145 degrees).
  • Allow meat to rest, covered, for about ten minutes before slicing and serving.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For pork:
1 (4-to 4 1/2-pound) boneless pork loin roast, trimmed
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
6 rosemary sprigs, divided
8 large thyme sprigs, divided
8 sage sprigs, divided
8 savory sprigs (optional), divided
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (4 to 5)
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
For sauce:
1/3 cup dry vermouth
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Roast pork:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Pat pork dry and season with 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Straddle a flameproof roasting pan over 2 burners, then heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Brown pork on all sides, then transfer to a large plate.
  • Put a metal rack in pan and arrange half of herbs down middle of rack. Stir together shallots, garlic, mustard, and 1 tablespoon oil and smear over top and sides of roast, then put roast, fat side up, on top of herbs. Roast 1 hour. Toss remaining herbs with remaining teaspoon oil and arrange on top of roast.
