Pork Tenderloin With Riesling Cream Sauce Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH RIESLING CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a cast iron or other heavy bottomed skillet (NOT non-stick), cook the pancetta or bacon bits over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve, leaving the grease in the pan.
• Season the pork with salt and pepper. Place the tenderloins into the pan with the bacon grease and sear on all sides. You may have to do this one at a time. Remove from the pan and place into an oven-safe dish. Put the pork in the oven to continue cooking while you prepare the sauce, about 10-15 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 145 degrees F.
• Remove all but 1 tablespoon of grease from the pan where you cooked the bacon and tenderloins - should be just enough to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. Return the heat to medium and add the smashed garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove the garlic.
• Add in the shallots and riesling, allowing to simmer until the shallots are soft and the wine is reduced by at least half.
• Add the cream all at once and reduce the heat to low. You want it to just barely simmer while it reduces.
• Allow the sauce to simmer until it is thickened. If you place the back of a spoon in the sauce, it should coat it well without dripping.
• Remove the pan from heat. Season the sauce with just a little salt and pepper, stirring in the fresh parsley and the butter right before serving.
• Slice the tenderloin and serve over mashed potatoes, topped with a generous spoonful of sauce!

PORK TENDERLOINS WITH MUSHROOMS AND A BRANDY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 1. Bring the cream to a light boil in a small saucepan and reduce it by half while doing the rest of the recipe.
• 2. Season the tenderloins with Creole seasoning while heating the olive oil in a big ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins until crusty brown all over. Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the tenderloins to a roasting pan in the center of the preheated oven, and roast for about 15 minutes, or until an internal temperature of about 155 is reached on a meat thermometer pushed into the center of the larger tenderloin.
• 3. While that's going on, return the skillet, that you used to brown the tenderloins, to medium heat. Add the brandy and bring it to a boil while whisking to dissolve the browned juices and bits in the pan, about a minute.
