Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (3/4 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed of visible fat
vegetable oil cooking spray
1 cup apple cider or 1 cup apple juice
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 medium clove)
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (use cayenne pepper for extra heat)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
sourdough French baguettes or roll

Steps:

  • Coat a Dutch oven with cooking spray; place oven on medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add tenderloins and cook about 10 minutes or until browned.
  • Turn occasionally.
  • Combine the apple cider or juice with the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
  • Pour over the tenderloins.
  • Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest portion of the tenderloin.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer covered, for about 40 minutes or until thermometer reads 160°F.
  • Occasionally, baste with the pan juices.
  • When done, remove tenderloins to a cutting board and allow to stand for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  • While the tenderloins are resting, heat the juices to boiling and cook until they are reduced to a thick syrupy sauce (about 10 minutes).
  • Slice the tenderloins diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
  • Serve on a baguette or roll sliced in half lengthwise.
  • Top the sliced pork with the"sauce".
