How to Make Polish Pork Tenderloin In Apple Onion Sauce Sauerkraut

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups diced).
  3. In a small saucepan, simmer diced apples in 1/2 cup apple juice (or water) over medium-low heat, covered, until soft (about 10-15 minutes).
  4. Mash the cooked apples with a potato masher to create a smooth applesauce.
  5. Pat 1.5-2 lb pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp Polish grill seasoning (or 1 tsp each marjoram, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika).
  7. Let the seasoned pork rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
  8. Lightly coat the pork loin with 2 tbsp all-purpose flour.
  9. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork loin on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  10. In an oven-safe baking dish, place 1 (24 oz) can of drained sauerkraut.
  11. Place the browned pork loin on top of the sauerkraut.
  12. In the same skillet used to brown the pork, add the applesauce, 1 packet onion soup mix, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp ground ginger. Mix well.
  13. Spoon the apple-onion mixture evenly over the pork loin.
  14. Pour 1/4 cup apple juice into the bottom of the baking dish, over the sauerkraut.
  15. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  16. Baste the pork with the pan juices halfway through baking.
  17. After 30 minutes, remove the foil, add another 1/4 cup apple juice, baste again, and cook for an additional 15 minutes, uncovered.
  18. Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  19. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve over the sauerkraut. Garnish as desired.
