Ingredients
- 2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins cut in 1/2 crosswise
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat oven to 500 degrees F and arrange rack in the upper third.
- Pat pork tenderloins dry with paper towels, brush with oil, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 pieces of pork tenderloin and cook until brown on all sides, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes.
- Set pork aside on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining pieces.
- Place pork in oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the tenderloin registers at 145 to 150 degrees F°, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place pan over high heat, add cider and vinegar and stir, scraping up any browned bits.
- Cook until mixture is reduced by 2/3, about 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, stir in maple syrup and remove from heat until pork is cooked.
- When pork is ready, rest on cutting board, about 5 minutes.
- Warm sauce over medium-high heat; add pork and any accumulated juices and spoon sauce over meat to completely coat.
- When pork is warm, return pork to cutting board and slice thinly.
- Serve with pan sauce spooned over.
