Pork tenderloin with apples and balsamic vinegar

  • Pork tenderloin with apples and balsamic vinegar
    SERVES 4

    Ingredients
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of all visible fat
    Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    1 cup chopped onion
    1/2 cup chopped apple
    1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
    1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
    1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

    Directions
    Preheat the oven to 450 F. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the pork and sprinkle with black pepper. Cook until the tenderloin is browned on all sides, about 3 minutes.
    Remove from heat and place in the prepared baking pan. Roast the pork for about 15 minutes, or until a food thermometer indicates 160 F (medium).
    Meanwhile, add the onion, apple and rosemary to the skillet. Saute over medium heat until the onions and apples are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the broth and vinegar. Increase the heat and boil until the sauce has reduced, about 5 minutes.
    To serve, place the pork on a large platter. Pour the onion-apple mixture over the top and serve immediately.
