PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON-ONION JAM

Steps:

• For the bacon-onion jam: Heat the oil in a cast-iron pan on medium heat; add the onion and cook until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the bacon and thyme and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer the bacon and onion from the pan with a slotted spoon into a small saucepot. Reserve the bacon fat in the pan for cooking the tenderloin.
• Put the saucepot with the bacon-onion mixture over medium-low heat and add the brown sugar and coffee. Cook the mixture down to a thick consistency, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the apple cider vinegar.
• For the pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels, sprinkle with the garlic powder and season well with salt and pepper.
• Heat the reserved bacon grease in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and place the tenderloin in the hot fat. (This comes out even better if you use the same pan you made the jam in; you get all the flavor from the jam.) Sear on all sides, then transfer the pan to the oven to finish cooking to an internal temperature of 135 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the bacon-onion jam.

GARLIC PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Rub salt and pepper over all sides of pork tenderloins; nestle tenderloins next to each other in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir vinegar into mushroom sauce. Pour mushroom sauce over tenderloins, letting sauce seep between the two tenderloins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tenderloins are lightly pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer tenderloins to a serving dish.
• Drain the drippings, including mushrooms, from the baking dish into a measuring cup, scraping the bottom to get all the brown bits. Remove 1/4 cup of the fat from the mixture and pour into a saucepan. Add enough chicken broth to the drippings to make 2 cups; whisk flour into drippings until incorporated. Stir broth-drippings mixture into the saucepan with fat over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Slice tenderloins into medallions and top with half the gravy. Pour the remaining gravy into a gravy boat for serving.

• Roast in the preheated oven until the pork roast is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 2 hours.

SOUTHERN STYLE SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS WITH BUTTERMILK GRAVY- DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess. RESERVE THE LEFTOVER SEASONED FLOUR MIXTURE FOR THE GRAVY.
• Heat a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. I usee an iron skillet, it's heavy and you can count on an even heat. I'm pretty sure it's a southern thang as well.
• When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour (about 2 spoonfulls) to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper; garnish with chopped parsley and/or chopped green onions before serving.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BLACKENED ONIONS AND DARK GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a metal roasting pan, loosely drizzle 2 tbs. olive oil around the entire bottom of the pan. Slice onions and place into the pan in a single layer.
• In a small mixing bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub into the meat, making sure to coat all sides of the loins/roast. Place loins/roast into the center of the roasting pan atop the layer of onions. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
• Roast uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a meat thermometer reaches 180 F or the juices run clear when piercing the thickest part of the meat. If cooking a whole roast (rather than two separate loins), it may take 15-20 minutes longer to cook thoroughly. Be sure to check the onions in the bottom of the pan occasionally to ensure they aren't burning too much.
• Once meat is cooked through, remove to a serving platter. Scoop onions out of the pan and arrange around or atop the loins/roast. Cover loosely with foil until ready to serve.
• Place roasting pan atop two stove top burners set at medium-low heat (metal roasting pan only!). Deglaze the pan with the vegetable broth (pour into the bottom of the pan and with a wooden spoon, scrape up all the dark bits from the bottom of the pan). Don't worry if the liquid looks dark; it's supposed to look that way.
• In a small bowl, to make the thickener mixture, whisk together flour and water until smooth. Slowly pour a portion of the thickener into the liquid in the pan while whisking at the same time. Repeat until desired thickness is reached. If desired, add more salt to taste.
• For a smoother consistency (if you don't want stray bits of onion in your gravy), pour through a wire mesh strainer into your favorite gravy serving dish.
• Slice pork loins/roast into 1/2 inch pieces. Serve with blackened onions and a drizzle of gravy on top.
