- Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil and butter in a heavy skillet (such as cast iron) over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, reduce heat to medium-low and cook 4-5 minutes or until beginning to soften.
- Add celery, carrot and red bell pepper. Continue cooking over low heat for 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are very tender.
- Add the garlic, thyme, 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning and flour and stir 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and Worcestershire. Transfer to a saucepan, using a rubber spatula to clean out the skillet as much as possible.
- Bring the sauce in the saucepan to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer to thicken up and reduce slightly while cooking the pork medallions.
- Season pork medallions with remaining Cajun seasoning.
- Add remaining canola oil to skillet and heat to medium-high.
- Place the pork medallions in the skillet, reduce heat to medium and sear 2-3 minutes on the first side and 1-2 minutes on the other. Turn each medallion on their sides to sear the sides as well.
- Transfer sauce back to the skillet with the pork medallions and bring to a simmer. Cook the pork to an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees.

SPICE RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BOURBON-CHIPOTLE SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the paprika, sugar, salt, cumin, mustard powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, and lightly coat with canola oil. Dredge the pork tenderloin in the rub, tapping off any excess, before searing on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Place the pan into the oven and cook to medium doneness, 8 to 10 minutes. Promptly remove from the oven and let rest at least 15 minutes.
- Serve with the Bourbon-Chipotle Sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onions until soft, and then pour in 2 cups of the bourbon and cook until reduced to a few tablespoons. Stir in the chicken stock, apple juice, brown sugar, peppercorns and chipotle, and cook until reduced by half.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer, and then return to the pan and cook until it becomes the consistency of a sauce. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons bourbon and cook 2 minutes. Season with salt.
PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND BOURBON
Steps:
- Slice the pork tenderloin into 6 to 7 medallions that are 1/2-to 3/4-inch thick, depending on the shape of the tenderloin.
- Combine the salt, coriander, fennel and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
- Spread the sliced pork medallions on a plate or baking sheet and season evenly on both sides with the salt mixture (you may not use it all).
- Spread the flour on plate. Dip each of the pork medallions in the flour and pat off any of the excess.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook the pork medallions in batches, adding more oil and butter as needed, browning them well on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove to a rack to rest. It's ok if the pork is not cooked all the way through at this stage, it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- When all the pork has been browned, pour off the fat in the pan into a small bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, thyme sprigs and some salt to the pan and cook until the shallots are softened and starting to get a little color, about 1 minute. Then add the apples and saute, stirring occasionally and adding more butter if necessary, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the bourbon and stir to cook off some of the alcohol. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Remove the thyme sprigs. Return the pork to the pan along with the chicken stock and season with salt. Simmer until well thickened and reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the pork and apples onto plates and drizzle with the sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-based pan over a high heat. Lay the pork medallions in the pan and cook, without turning, for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown. (You may need to brown the pork in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.)
- Add the butter to the pan then turn the medallions over and cook for 1-2 minutes until browned on the other side. Transfer the pork to a warm plate and set aside.
- Pour the Bourbon into the pan to deglaze, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any flavoursome brown bits stuck to the bottom of pan.
- Tip in the onion and garlic, reduce the heat to medium and sweat for 5 minutes, without colouring, until softened and translucent.
- Turn the heat back up to high, pour in the chicken stock and the soaked pearl barley and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer vigorously for 15-20 minutes or until the volume of liquid has reduced by half.
- Pour in the cream and whisk in the mustard. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper then stir in the additional tablespoon of Bourbon and the chopped tarragon.
- Tip the pork medallions into the sauce, along with any juices on the plate, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve with steamed seasonal vegetables.
