Best Pork Tenderloin Pan Roast With Black Olives And Orange Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN PAN ROAST WITH BLACK OLIVES AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a blender or food processor, mince together the zest, a few tablespoons of orange juice (save the rest for basting), the olive oil, basil, and a light sprinking of salt and pepper.
• Make about 8 deep slits in the meat and stuff them with the minced mixture.
• Lightly film a 12-inch skillet (with an ovenproof handle) with olive oil. Bring to a medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides (it doesn't have to actually brown).
• Add the olives, remaining orange juice, and the wine to the pan, and slip it into the preheated oven. Roast for 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 150 degrees, basting the tenderloin several times with the pan juices. If the pan juices start to brown too much, add 1/2 cup water to prevent burning.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven, making sure not to grab the hot handle with a bare hand. Let the meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice it into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, swiping it through the pan juices as it is cut. Serve it moistened with the pan juices, piling the olives on the slices.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ORANGE

Steps:

• Trim each tenderloin to remove excess fat. Cut each tenderloin into 4 equal rounds.
• With a mallet or meat pounder, pound each pork round to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the pieces of pork in one layer, heat the oil over medium high heat. Saute pork for about 2 minutes on each side. Do not overcook. Remove from the pan and keep warm on a platter.
• In the same skillet, add the onions and cook until wilted. Drain the fat and add the port and wine. Bring to a boil. Stir and scrape to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth and the tomato paste. Stir to blend; reduce by half.
• Add the orange sections and zests, bring to a simmer and swirl in the butter. Add any juices that may have accumulated around the pork slices. Blend well. Pour the sauce over the pork and serve hot.

ORANGE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Make the orange marinade by whisking together the orange juice, soy sauce, rosemary, and garlic. Pour over pork tenderloin and marinate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Drain pork, reserving the marinade, and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for about 20 minutes until internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, strain the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer in a small saucepan. Serve this as a sauce for the meat.
