How To Make Pork Tenderloin with Garlic-Orange Vinaigrette and Sautéed Spinach
A savory and zesty garlic & orange vinaigrette adds so much complexity to this pork tenderloin recipe, which is then served with a healthy dose of spinach.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 4tbspolive oil
- 2pork tenderloins
- coarse salt and ground pepper
- ¼cuporange juice
- 2tbspdijon mustard
- 1tbsphoney
- 1clovegarlic
- 4bunchflat leaf spinach
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium; season pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet, and cook, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 145 degrees F. This takes about 20 to 25 minutes (reduce heat if pork browns too quickly).
-
Transfer pork to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest 5 to 10 minutes (reserve skillet).
-
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine orange juice, mustard, honey, garlic, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper, and blend until smooth; set vinaigrette aside.
-
In reserved skillet (if bottom of skillet is blackened, use a new one), heat remaining tablespoon oil over high. Add as much spinach as will fit; toss until wilted, adding more spinach as there is room.
-
Drain off excess liquid, and season spinach with salt and pepper. Slice pork and drizzle with vinaigrette; serve with spinach.
