Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 cup orange juice
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.75 cup black olives, pitted and halved
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork tenderloins evenly with salt and black pepper, making sure to coat all sides.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork tenderloins in the hot skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 6

Add the orange zest, orange juice, white wine, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Return the pork tenderloins to the skillet. Scatter the black olives and rosemary sprigs around the pork.

Step 8

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for about 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a simmer and reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the rosemary sprigs and whisk in the butter to add richness to the sauce.

Step 12

Slice the rested pork tenderloins into medallions and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon the orange and olive sauce over the pork, making sure to include the olives in the presentation.

Step 13

Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired and serve warm.
