Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork tenderloin filets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup Pomegranate molasses
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 0.25 cup Pomegranate arils (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin filets. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the pork filets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork filets to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the filets from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Pour in the pomegranate molasses, chicken stock, and honey. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the fresh rosemary to the skillet and return the pork filets to the pan.

Step 8

Cook the pork filets in the sauce for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). The sauce should thicken slightly during this time.

Step 9

Remove the pork filets from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprig.

Step 10

Spoon the thickened pomegranate molasses sauce over the filets and garnish with pomegranate arils for a festive touch, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
