You are not going to believe how easy this dinner is!
We’re making sticky apricot pork tenderloin and let me just tell you: you really only need six ingredients. Actually, four ingredients if we don’t count salt, pepper and water since we usually have those on hand.
SIMPLE. Delicious. Sticky and tender and juicy and so satisfying.
The method I use for this pork tenderloin is embarrassingly easy. I use it all the time for chicken and salmon and I’m happy to tell you that it works just as well for pork. It leaves you with a crispy exterior, a sticky apricot sauce and a very tender, juicy tenderloin.
If that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what will!
Here’s how I make it:
I season the tenderloins all over and sear them in an oven-safe (I prefer cast iron) skillet.
Next, I whisk together the apricot preserves and the water. This thins it out a bit to make a sauce, and it’s going to bubble up in the skillet!
Then, I pour the mixture into the pan with the pork. It helps to deglaze the pan and also simmers and thickens a bit more. I spoon it over the pork too.
Time for the oven! The whole pan goes right into the oven for about 20 minutes or so. You will be surprised at how quickly it cooks! Just make sure to take the internal temp.
THAT’S IT. How easy is that?
Whenever I make a pork tenderloin, I always wonder why I don’t make it more often. Is this you too?
It’s such an easy, delicious meal – you can make it fairly quickly and it tastes amazing. There are so many ways to enjoy it too!
And while it’s great for a weeknight meal, it also makes a lovely dish for a dinner party or fancier holiday. You could make this for Easter and serve it with a big salad and mashed or melting potatoes. (more…)
