Rosemary and Apple-Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
2 pork tenderloins
Fresh rosemary stalks, totaling about 30"
1/2 gallon apple cider
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup apple brandy
12 black peppercorns
2 cups whipping cream
Instructions
Wrap the pork tenderloins in rosemary stalks and secure with cooking twine. Over medium heat, reduce the apple cider to 4 cups. Let cool. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until it forms a haze. Brown the tenderloins in the olive oil to sear and infuse rosemary into the meat. Deglaze the pan with the apple brandy, and extinguish with 3 cups of reduced apple cider. Remove the tenderloins from the pan and set aside. Add the peppercorns, a 2" stalk of rosemary, and the whipping cream to the pan and reduce the liquid to 1ý cups. Strain and set aside.
Remove the rosemary from the browned tenderloins and cut the tenderloins into þ" -thick medallions. Butterfly the tail of the tenderloin and flatten to þ". Marinate the medallions in the remaining cup of reduced apple cider. Preheat the grill to high. To finish the dish, grill the medallions for 2-3 minutes per side and reheat the sauce. Arrange the medallions on a platter garnished with rosemary leaves and serve with the apple rosemary cream sauce on the side.
