Pork Tenderloin With Lentils And Mustard Sauce Food

PORK TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH MUSTARD CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch-thick steaks on a long bias. Season the steaks all over with salt and black pepper, then toss in the flour to coat.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Shake the excess flour off the meat and add it to the skillet. Cook, flipping once, until cooked to medium and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 150 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork steaks to a platter and lower the heat under the skillet to medium.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the shallots. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cider, mustard, parsley, chives and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Simmer, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Top the steaks with the sauce and serve.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mustard, sherry, and rosemary.
• Place the tenderloins in a baking dish or bowl. Season all over with 1¼ teaspoons salt and pour about one-third of the marinade over top. Turn the tenderloins a few times to coat evenly with the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight (the longer, the better). Cover the remaining marinade and refrigerate until ready to use (it will form the base of the sauce).
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat (see note below if you don't have one of these pans). Add both tenderloins and sear on all sides until nicely browned, 6 to 8 minutes (don't move the tenderloins around between turns; they will brown better if left alone). Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the pork registers about 140°F on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes. (To check for doneness without a thermometer, make a slit in the thickest part of the loin; the meat should be mostly white with a slight hint of pale pink, and the juices should run mostly clear.)
• Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately place an oven mitt or dishtowel over the handle to remind yourself that it is hot (it is easy to forget and burn yourself!). Transfer the tenderloins to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes, then cut into ¼- to ½-inch slices.
• Meanwhile, pour the remaining marinade into a small skillet and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and, stirring constantly, incorporate the butter one piece at a time. Add ⅛ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Arrange the sliced tenderloin on a platter and drizzle with a bit of the sauce; pass the remaining sauce at the table.
• Note: If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the pork to a foil-lined sheet pan after searing. (The foil is just for easy cleanup.) You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine wine, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a large resealable plastic bag. Place tenderloin in bag, and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard powder; mix well. Mix in minced chives if you wish. Chill until ready to serve.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place meat and marinade in a shallow baking dish, and roast for 1 hour, basting occasionally. Temperature of meat should register 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest for a few minutes, then cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Serve with mustard sauce.

CREAMY MUSTARD PORK

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the pork and fry for 2 minutes over a high heat. Toss in the onion, garlic and mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the crème frâiche and mustard, then tear in the basil. As soon as the crème frâiche has gone runny, remove the pan from the heat. Serve with rice and seasonal vegetables.

MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
• Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GRAINY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
• Season the pork with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to the skillet and cook, turning, until browned all over, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet.
• Cook the pork, turning occasionally, until done, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the skillet, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Reserve the pan juices.
• To the juices in the skillet, add the mustards, sour cream and any accumulated juices from the resting pork.
• Whisk over medium heat until heated through. Do not boil.
• Add water if the sauce is too thick.
• Slice the pork thinly and serve with the sauce.
