How to Make Pork Tenderloin With Sweet Onion Rhubarb Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Rub the spice mixture thoroughly all over the pork tenderloin.
  4. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sear the pork tenderloin in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C) (about 15-17 minutes).
  7. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. While the pork rests, prepare the sauce: Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  9. Add 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  10. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly browned (about 7-8 minutes).
  11. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet.
  12. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft (about 5-7 minutes). Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to prevent sticking or burning.
  13. Stir in 1 cup chopped rhubarb, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar.
  14. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb has softened and broken down (about 5 minutes).
  15. Spoon the delicious onion-rhubarb sauce generously over the sliced pork tenderloin.
  16. Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
