The taste of maple goes well with so many dishes, and pork is no exception! Here’s a pork tenderloin recipe that’s making the Bonenfant-Bélanger family at l’Érablière Bo-Sirop happy. Simple to prepare and deliciously refined!
Ingredients
1 pork tenderloin, approximately 500g
salt and pepper
125 ml (1/2 cup) Le Grand-Remous de l’Érablière maple mistelle syrup[1]
175 ml (3/4 cup) 35% cooking cream
1 sprig of fresh rosemary (optional)
1 ml salt
Instructions
Pork :
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Season the pork tenderloin evenly with salt and pepper.
In a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork tenderloin for about 3 minutes per side (both sides).
Once the tenderloin is well browned, transfer it to a baking dish. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 63°C for medium rare.
Once cooked, cover the dish with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving with sauce and your favorite sides.
Sauce :
While the pork is cooking in the oven, remove the pan from the heat for about 1 to 2 minutes to allow the temperature to cool slightly before deglazing. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Return the pan to medium-low heat, add the fresh rosemary, and pour the maple mistelle into the pan to deglaze. Reduce the mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon for 1 minute.
Add the cream and salt to the pan, stir, and reduce the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the rosemary. Set the sauce aside.
