Last night we had an amazing dish, pineapple pork tenderloin. It was delish. I wasn't sure how everyone would feel about the pineapple but thankfully my boys torn it up!
This recipe serves 8 people so we had tons of leftovers!
Ingredients:
1lb pork tenderloin
Olive oil cooking spray
1 pineapple, cored, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1Tbsp real maple syrup
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
ONE: preheat oven to 375F. Rinse the tenderloin under cool running water and pay dry.
TWO: heat a large skillet on medium-high. Mist lighty with olive oil cooking sprat and place tenderloin in. Sear your tenderloin until it's nicely browned on all sides (this takes about 3-4 minutes a side). After seared remove your tenderloin and place in a backing dish.
THREE: immediately place pineapple chunks in skillet. Sauté them for around 3 minutes (let them get a golden caramel color).
FOUR: while your pineapple is cooking mix together vinegar & syrup in a small bowl. Add this to the pineapple and reduce heat to simmer for 1 minute.
FIVE: pour the pineapple mixture over your tenderloin and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Pop your tenderloin in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the juices run slightly pink.
This meal was amazing and only 290 calories per serving!
Looks good!
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing our "clean eating" for a few weeks now but we mainly do chicken and salmon and tilapia for meats but I'll have to try this!
I don't like pineapple.. But I'll take one for the team and try it out because Christian likes it haha
To my surprise the meat didn't have a very strong pineapple flavor. We normally eat chicken and turkey but I'm trying to widen our meal choices so we don't get burn out.
DeleteIf you have any good salmon recipes id love to hear them!
