Best Pork Tenderloin With Butternut Squash And Brussels Sprouts Recipes

ANCHO CHILE PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND SQUASH

Steps:

• Place racks in top and center of oven; preheat to 425°F. Finely grate 2 tsp. lime zest into a small bowl. Stir in cumin, chile powder, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. salt.
• Toss brussels sprouts, onion, squash, 2 Tbsp. oil, and half of spiced salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to center rack in oven and roast 10 minutes. Toss and continue to roast until vegetables are browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, rub pork tenderloins with remaining spiced salt and heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear pork on 3 sides until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Turn tenderloins onto remaining side, then transfer skillet to top rack of oven. Roast pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium, 8-10 minutes (temperature will rise by about 10°F after cooking). Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• Whisk sour cream, 2 tsp. lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Spoon some sauce onto plates, then arrange pork over. Top with cilantro leaves, flakey sea salt, and pepper. Serve vegetables and lime wedges alongside.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the caraway seeds, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the pork in a large ovenproof skillet and rub all over with 1 teaspoon olive oil; season with the spice mixture. Roast 15 minutes, then flip and scatter the mushrooms around the pork. Continue roasting until the pork is browned and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, about 10 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it starts browning, about 1 minute. Stir in the shredded vegetables, 1 cup chicken broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook until the greens are wilted, about 10 minutes. Stir in the dill and lemon zest; keep warm over low heat.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Put the skillet with the mushrooms over medium heat; add the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, then add the heavy cream. Return to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Slice the pork and top with the mushroom sauce. Serve with the vegetables.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS, SHALLOTS, GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, add the Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, the zest and juice from 1 of the lemons, the fresh thyme and the butter. Whisk together and set aside. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat and add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to the pan. Season the meat on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste, and gingerly put the pork loin in the hot oil. Brown the pork, without moving it around, for 3 minutes. Use a pair of kitchen tongs or 2 large spoons, to gently, but firmly, rotate the pork a 1/4 turn in the oil. Repeat this process turning the pork every 3 to 4 minutes. The most important thing? Be patient. Get the other vegetables together as the meat browns.
• Meanwhile, toss the garlic cloves, Brussels sprouts and shallots in a bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt, to taste, and stir in the chili flakes. Heat a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Arrange the vegetables evenly in the bottom of the roasting pan and cook just until the vegetables begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
• When the pork is browned on all sides, remove it from the skillet and put it on a rack in the roasting pan, flesh side up, fatty side down.
• In the same cast iron pan that was used to brown the pork, discard some of the leftover fat, leaving about 1 to 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the diced bread and toast over low heat. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and set aside until service.
• Take care to disperse the vegetables so the heat in the oven can circulate around and under the pork as it cooks. Pour the mustard mixture over the pork. Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F and put the roasting pan in the center of the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Test the temperature in the center of the loin. You are looking for an "ideal" internal temperature of 90 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Roast for 10 to 15 additional minutes and test again. You are looking for an ideal temperature of 125 degrees F. Remove the pork from the pan and allow it to "rest" for 10 minutes.
• Put the roasting pan on top of the stove, over low heat, and add the vinegar and the juice and zest from the remaining lemon. Stir to blend with the vegetables. Taste for seasoning.
• Arrange the pork in the center of a platter (sliced or whole) and spoon the vegetables and any cooking liquid over the top. Garnish with croutons and serve.

EASY ONE-PAN PORK AND SQUASH DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a rimmed 13x18-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sage, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl.
• Place tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet; rub honey mixture onto pork.
• Mix butternut squash, apples, and onion in a bowl; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sage, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; toss until well coated. Place around pork tenderloin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and pork is cooked, 30 to 35 minutes; baste pork with honey mixture several times during roasting. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
