The pork tenderloin is a versatile, low-carb and relatively inexpensive cut of meat that’s easy to prepare. And while it’s perfect for weekday family dinners or entertaining weekend guests, it doesn’t have to be boring. This simple Seared Strawberry Chipotle Pork Tenderloin recipe, straight from The Farm Kitchen, finds another new and creative way to use our Strawberry Smoked Chipotle Artisan Fruit Spread.
WHAT YOU NEED
1 jar RFK Strawberry Smoked Chipotle Artisan Fruit Spread
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
2 tsp. olive oil
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (1-lb.) pork tenderloin, trimmed
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine Regina’s Farm Kitchen Strawberry Smoked Chipotle Artisan Fruit Spread, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, red pepper and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer, then cook three (3) minutes or until slightly thickened.
Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat. Put the pork in the pan, and cook four (4) minutes or until browned.
Turn the tenderloin over. Place pan in oven. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes or until your cooking thermometer registers 150 degrees. Remove the tenderloin from the pan, and let stand 10 minutes. Cut pork into 36 thin slices. Serve with the Regina’s Farm Kitchen Strawberry Smoked Chipotle Artisan Fruit Spread mixture.
