How to Make Pork Tenderloin With Chipotle Marmalade Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups beef stock and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 2 1/2 cups (approximately 45 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 cup finely chopped shallots and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.
- Add the reduced stock mixture, 1/2 cup orange marmalade, and 1-2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (adjust to taste), finely chopped. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Whisk this mixture into the stock mixture.
- Stir until the sauce boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Season a 1-pound pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and cook until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 155°F (68°C), about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick medallions, arrange on plates, spoon the sauce generously over the pork, and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
