Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Apples and Leeks
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each), trimmed of excess fat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces, washed well and dried
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 3 Gala apples, cored, halved lengthwise and then crosswise, and cut 1/4 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar or red-wine vinegar
- Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat source.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, rub pork with 1 tablespoon oil; generously season with salt and pepper.
- Broil until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 145F, 14 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer pork to a plate.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 10 minutes (internal temperature will rise about 5 degrees as it sits).
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium.
- Add leeks and fennel seeds; cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender, about 6 minutes.
- Add apples, and cook, tossing, until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat; stir in honey and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice pork, and serve with apples and leeks.
- If you are saving a cooked pork tenderloin, let it cool completely before covering tightly and refrigerating up to 2 days.
- Slice or shred when ready to use.
