Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 large (finely minced) Shallots
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Grand Marnier liqueur
• 0.5 cup (freshly squeezed) Orange juice
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels. Rub them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season all over with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the skillet, cover with foil, and let it rest while you prepare the sauce.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Carefully pour the Grand Marnier into the skillet and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off.

Step 7

Add the orange juice and chicken stock to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and orange zest, then simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 10

Spoon the Grand Marnier sauce over the pork slices and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
