Recipe
Maple-sage pork tenderloin
Roast tenderloin with maple and sage, carrots, parsnip and chard.
Ingredients
- Pork tenderloin — 15¾ oz (1)
- Maple syrup — 1 Tbsp
- Sage
- Carrot — 1¾ oz (1 small)
- Parsnip — 4¼ oz (1)
- Chard — 2 cups
- Garlic-infused olive oil — 1 Tbsp
- Sea salt & pepper
Method
- Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Sear the seasoned tenderloin all over in the oil, 3–4 minutes.
- Brush with maple, scatter sage, add the carrot and parsnip; roast 15–20 minutes to 145°F (63°C).
- Rest 5–10 minutes; slice across the grain. Sauté the chard and serve.
Notes
Pull at 145°F (63°C) internal — pork tenderloin overcooks the moment it crosses 150°F. Five minutes of rest carries it to a perfect blush-pink center.
