Sautéed Pork Tenderloin with Shallot-Tarragon Sauce Recipe

If you prefer, substitute an equal amount of fresh thyme for the tarragon.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sliced shallots
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

Cut the pork crosswise into 1-inch pieces; flatten each piece to 1/2-inch thickness using fingertips. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag; add pork to bag. Seal and shake to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.

Add shallots to pan; cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in wine, juice, mustard, and tarragon, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 2 minutes. Serve with pork.
