Pork Tenderloin With Golden Beets Food

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GOLDEN BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
• Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season pork loin (look for one with a nice dark color and some fat on it) with salt and cook until browned on all sides, 10-15 minutes. Transfer pork to a platter.
• Add onions and beets to same skillet and cook, stirring often, until onions are slightly translucent and browned, 10-12 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add garlic, sauerkraut, brine, broth, wine, and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook until beets are fork-tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Return pork to skillet and push down into liquid. Turn heat up to medium and simmer, uncovered, turning meat occasionally until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of loin registers 150°F, 20-30 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, mix walnuts, mint, parsley, apricots, remaining 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 cup oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon beet mixture onto plates and arrange sliced pork on top. Spoon a generous amount of walnut sauce over.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED BEETS AND GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Loosely wrap beets in parchment-lined foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly; remove skins. Slice beets. Set aside.
• Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until pork registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk mustard and vinegar in a bowl. Gradually whisk in 6 tablespoons olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste; set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beet greens, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove greens from heat. Add reserved sliced beets and half of vinaigrette, and toss to combine.
• Slice pork and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Serve with sauteed greens and sliced beets.
