Well, let me tell ya, makin’ pork tenderloin with apples and onions ain’t too hard, but it sure does taste mighty good. I reckon if ya get the pork nice and seared, it’ll be juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, just the way we like it. Now, don’t go rushin’ it. First thing ya gotta do is get yerself a good pork tenderloin. A nice, tender piece of meat—none of them tough ones, mind ya. Once ya got that, it’s time to start cookin’!
Now, I always like to heat up a skillet first. Get it nice and hot, then drizzle in a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Once it’s all heated up, lay that pork tenderloin right in there. Don’t be scared, it’s gonna sizzle real good! Ya wanna sear it for about 1-2 minutes on each side, turnin’ it with a pair of tongs so that it gets nice and brown all over. That browning? That’s where the flavor comes from, my dear. You gotta seal in them juices, you know?
Once the pork’s browned all over, you don’t wanna just leave it on the stove, no sir. Now, this is where I got a trick for ya: finish it off in the oven. Yep, just slide it on into a preheated oven at around 375°F. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes. You want the inside to be cooked through, but don’t overdo it or it’ll dry out. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer, it should be about 145°F in the center. When it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes before ya slice it. It’ll keep all them good juices inside!
While that pork’s cookin’, you can work on the apples and onions. You gotta peel and slice ‘em up real nice. I like to use a couple of apples—granny smiths are good ‘cause they got that tart taste that pairs nice with the sweet pork. Get a few onions too, slice ‘em thin. Once the pork’s out the oven, you can throw them apples and onions into the same skillet. Just cook ‘em down till they get nice and soft, and a bit caramelized. They’ll soak up all them good flavors from the pork, trust me on that!
Now, when you plate it up, just slice that tenderloin into nice, thick pieces. Lay it on a plate and spoon them apples and onions over the top. That’s the good stuff right there. You got the savory, the sweet, and a bit of tang from the apples. What more could a person ask for? You can serve it with some mashed potatoes or rice, if you’re feelin’ fancy, or just eat it as is. Don’t forget to drizzle a bit of the juices from the pan over the top to finish it off. Ain’t nothin’ wasted, that’s for sure.
So, there ya have it, a simple way to cook pork tenderloin with apples and onions. It’s real easy and it’s gonna taste just like heaven. The pork’s tender, the apples are sweet and juicy, and them onions? Well, they just add a little somethin’ extra. If you’re lookin’ for a meal that’s gonna fill ya up and make ya feel all warm inside, this here’s the one.
