Pork Tenderloin and Apple Roast

Step 1

Preheat convection oven to 375˚F.

Step 2

In a small bowl, blend the thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the pork tenderloins with the thyme blend, set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, sauté the bacon until it is almost crisp. Add the shallots and cook until they are tender. Remove the bacon and shallots from the skillet using a slotted spoon draining the fat and reserving it in the skillet.

Step 4

Reheat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork tenderloins on all sides. Place the pork in a roasting pan sprayed with pan release.

Step 5

Place pork in a 375°F convection oven for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 150°F to 160°F. Remove from oven and cover with foil.

Step 6

De-glaze the skillet with the apple brandy. Add the butter to the skillet to melt, add the bacon and shallots. Add the Fuji apples and simmer until apples are warm and flavors marry.

Step 7

To serve, slice the pork 1/2-inch thick on the bias. Place 3 oz. of the apples on a plate, fan 3 1/2 oz. of pork over the apples. Garnish with a thyme sprig.
