Smoky Apple-Tomato Pork Tenderloin
*(Serves 4)*
Ingredients:
Pork Tenderloin
- 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Apple Cider Vinegar Glaze
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp F N Good Food Ketchup seasoning
Instructions
1. Prep the Pork:
- Pat the tenderloin dry. Rub 1 tbsp olive oil all over the meat.
- Generously coat the pork with the **F N Good Food Ketchup seasoning, pressing to adhere. Let sit at room temp for 20 minutes.
2. Sear & Roast:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat remaining oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned (~2–3 minutes per side).
- Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast for 15–18 minutes, until internal temp reaches 145°F (63°C).
3. Make the Glaze:
- While pork roasts, combine all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until thickened (~5 minutes).
4. Glaze & Rest:
- Brush the glaze over the pork during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
- Let pork rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with herbs.
Serving Suggestions
- With Roasted Veggies: Toss carrots, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes in leftover dry rub and roast alongside the pork.
- Over Polenta: Serve slices atop creamy polenta with extra glaze drizzled on top.
- Sandwiches: Slice thinly and pile onto crusty rolls with pickled onions and arugula.
Vegetarian Option
Replace pork with cauliflower steaks or portobello mushrooms. Adjust roasting time to 20–25 minutes.
Enjoy!
