Peppercorn Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• Press pepper into all sides of tenderloin.
• Heat butter in a frying pan that just fits the pork and brown over medium high heat.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Pour brandy over the pork.
• Mix remaining ingredients and stir into pan.
• Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes.
• Remove pork and cut into 1/2 inch slices.
• Pour sauce over top.

Steps:

• Heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of pork with peppercorns.
• Sauté pork in oil 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until brown. Stir apple juice and lemon juice into skillet. Cook over low heat 2 minutes or until pork is brown. Stir in sour cream until blended.
• Serve pork and sauce over orzo. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Allow the pork to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it comfortably. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the fennel seed, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the mixture on top of the pork and roast for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and cover tightly with aluminum foil for 20 minutes.
• For the sauce, remove all but 1/4 cup of fat from the roasting pan. If there isn't 1/4 cup, add enough butter to the pan to make 1/4 cup total. Over medium heat, whisk the flour into the fat in the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock, the remaining 2 teaspoons of each mustard, the green peppercorns, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
• Remove the strings from the roast pork, slice between the bones, and serve warm with the hot sauce.
• Homemade Chicken Stock:
• 3 (5-pound) chickens
• 3 large onions, unpeeled and quartered
• 6 carrots, unpeeled and halved
• 4 celery stalks with leaves, cut in thirds
• 4 parsnips, unpeeled and cut in half (optional)
• 20 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 15 sprigs fresh thyme
• 20 sprigs fresh dill
• 1 head garlic, unpeeled and cut in 1/2 crosswise
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
• Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, salt, and peppercorns in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot with 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Skim the surface as needed. Simmer uncovered for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander, discarding the chicken and vegetables, and chill. Discard the hardened fat, and then pack the broth in quart containers.
