Ingredients

  1. pork tenderloin - 1 (cut in half)
  2. salt - to taste (for dry brine)
  3. vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon (for skillet)
  4. shallot - 1 (finely minced)
  5. bourbon - 1/4 to 1/2 cup (1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on preference)
  6. chicken stock - 1 cup (optionally bolstered with gelatin)
  7. heavy cream - 1/4 cup
  8. Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon
  9. kosher salt - to taste (to taste)
  10. freshly ground black pepper - to taste (to taste)
  11. unsalted butter - 2 tablespoons (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Dry Brine Tenderloin: Sprinkle salt on all sides of the pork tenderloin halves and let rest at room temperature for 45 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat Oven and Skillet: Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  3. Sear Tenderloin: Lay down the tenderloin pieces in the skillet, pressing them down to maximize contact. Sear until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  4. Roast Tenderloin: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  5. Make Bourbon Mustard Pan Sauce: Sauté shallot in the same skillet, add bourbon, chicken stock, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook down to a thick consistency, then finish with butter and pork drippings.
  6. Serve: Slice pork into medallions, serve with the sauce, and garnish with herbs like parsley or tarragon.
