Ingredients

For the Pork

  • 1 lb pork tenderloins

For the Glaze

  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the Pork: Generously season the pork tenderloins with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance flavor.
  2. Sear the Pork: Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes, to develop a flavorful crust.
  3. Prepare the Glaze: In a saucepan, combine apple juice, pomegranate juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well.
  4. Simmer the Glaze: Place the saucepan over medium heat and simmer the mixture until it reduces by half and becomes glossy, approximately 15 minutes.
  5. Glaze and Roast: Brush the seared pork with the prepared glaze and transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juiciness. Slice and drizzle with the remaining glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches perfect doneness without overcooking.
  • Allowing the pork to rest before slicing helps retain its juices and keeps it tender.
  • If an oven-safe skillet is unavailable, transfer the pork to a baking dish after searing.
  • For a thicker glaze, continue simmering until the consistency is syrupy before brushing on the pork.
  • Leftover glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
