Seared Pork Tenderloin with Pomegranate Glaze
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
- 1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high.
- Pat dry pork and generously season with salt and pepper; cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Transfer skillet to oven, and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of tenderloin registers 140F, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove pork from oven, place it on a plate, and tent with foil.
- Add pomegranate juice, molasses, and currants to skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook until sauce is thickened to a glaze (it should coat the back of a spoon and hold a line drawn through it with your finger), 5 to 6 minutes.
- To serve, slice pork against the grain, and drizzle with glaze.
- Youll find bottled pomegranate juice in most supermarkets and health-food stores.
- Check the ingredients list, and select one without added sugar, other juices, or preservatives.
