Best Pork Tenderloin With Glaze And Pecans Recipes

MAPLE PECAN PORK TENDERLOIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with non stick cooking spray.
• Place pork tenderloin on foil and season with salt and pepper on both sides of meat. Set aside.
• In a medium sized bowl combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, mustard, and pecans.
• Stir until well combined.
• Spoon the maple syrup and pecan mixture over the top of the pork tenderloin.
• Cook uncovered for about an hour, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees. If the glaze starts to get well done, place tented foil loosely over the pork during the cooking time.
• After it's done cooking, let the meat rest for about 5-10 minutes. Slice and serve.

PECAN ENCRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim silver skin and as much fat as possible from the tenderloins. The first thing makes it more tender, the second thing makes it healthier.
• Whip egg whites until frothy, then add a good quality mustard (honey mustard is a favorite of ours) to the mixture and beat until well blended.
• On one side of the bowl with whipped egg whites, have flour mixed with salt and pepper.
• On the other side of the egg bowl, have mixture of half coarsely chopped pecans and plain bread crumbs.
• Just beyond the tray that has the pecan/breadcrumb mixture, have a roasting pan that has been sprayed with vegetable oil.
• Dredge the tenderloins through the flour until coated, then dip in the egg mixture, roll in the pecan/breadcrumb mixture and place in the roasting pan. This is really messy, so much so that I almost invariably wash my hands between tenderloins.
• Don't worry too much about how this looks, but be sure that the tenderloin is pretty much covered with the pecan/breadcrumb mixture.
• Spray the exposed parts of the roast with a little vegetable oil. This will help crisp up the crust while baking.
• Bake in a 425 or 450 degree oven until the internal temperature is about 160 degrees. We do use a meat thermometer when we make this recipe. Usually 25-35 minutes,.
• Remove from oven and let sit for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a sauce pan combine equal parts of heavy cream and the same mustard you combined with the egg whites. Heat this mixture stove top until it thickens a bit.
• Slice the tenderloins (about ½ to ¾ inches thick is about right), trying to keep as much of the crust on the meat as possible. Some will come off. Don't worry about it.
• If you are serving family style, lay the pieces on a platter and then drizzle the sauce over pieces. If you are serving restaurant style, place 1-3 pieces on a plate, drizzle sauce over the pieces, and then around them.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACH AND PECAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until well browned on both sides. Remove the pork from the skillet.
• Add the garlic and onions to the skillet and cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir the soup, peach juice, soy sauce and honey in the skillet and heat to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until the soup mixture is slightly reduced.
• Return the pork to the skillet. Stir in the peaches. Reduce the heat to low. Cook until the pork is cooked through. Stir in the pecans. Serve the pork and sauce with the rice. Sprinkle with additional sliced green onion, if desired.
